Audemars Piguet Tradition of Excellence Royal Oak Watch, No. 4 of the "Tradition of Excellence" Collection in a limited edition of 20, platinum case (39mm diameter) with octagon shaped bezel, platinum bracelet with hidden clasp, skeleton dial with luminous hands and chronograph functions, hand-wound tourbillon chronograph movement with double ten-day power-reserve indication, scratch-resistant transparent sapphire crystal front and back, water-resistant to 50m.
Eight masterpieces in limited editions of twenty will constitute the Tradition of Excellence collection, built up between 1999 and 2006.
Each year for the past three years, Audemars Piguet has offered a model embodying the quintessence of watchmaking know-how in a particular field. More than ever, cutting-edge technologies are placed in the service of hand-crafted creativity, culminating in accomplishments that push back the frontiers of the watchmaking art. Each watch is accompanied by complete documentation presenting the specific features of the model and the technical and philosophical choices that governed its creation.
Enriched by the technical and aesthetic research required for these creations, and the integration of the inner workings with stylish exteriors achieved by the technical departments, the "Tradition of Excellence" collection takes all the time it needs to optimise the activity of all those involved.
Finally, an original marquetry-work cabinet has been created by a craftsman in the Vall?e de Joux, specifically designed to house the eight masterpieces of the Tradition of Excellence collection.
