Description

The Audemars Piguet Tradition 26564IC.OO.D002CR.01 is a highly complex and luxurious watch featuring a minute repeater, tourbillon, and column wheel chronograph, housed in a titanium case with white gold components and an alligator strap. It utilizes the hand-wound Calibre 2874 movement, known for its intricate finishing, and offers a 48-hour power reserve. This model is praised for its exceptional craftsmanship, tradition-inspired design, and limited production, representing a pinnacle of fine watchmaking.

Design inspired by that of a 1920s cushion-shaped pocket watch belonging to the brand’s private museum.
Unveiled at SIHH 2013, the AP Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph is produced in two 10-piece limited editions: one in pink and white gold, and the other in titanium and white gold.
Few people are aware that the quality of the sound emitted by a watch largely depends on the metal from which the case is made, as well as its volume. The larger the case and the lighter and harder the materials, the more it enables the acoustic waves to expand. The 47 mm titanium case thereby maximises the sound volume, thus enhancing connoisseurs’ listening pleasure.
The appealingly curved case of the Audemars Piguet Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph accommodates a mechanical hand-wound 13?¼-ligne (29.90 mm) calibre that is 7.65 mm thick and comprises 504 parts – of which some of the individual elements and mechanical subsets are visible through the transparent case-back.

Moreover, the 83 parts composing the one-minute rotating tourbillon with its balance oscillating at a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour may be admired through the dial opening, thus enabling the owner of this fantastic instrument to revel in the sight of this 0.4 gram regulator of which the constant revolutions are designed to enhance the precision of the watch.
