Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton: Mechanical Art You Can Wear
When you think you’ve seen everything the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak can offer, the skeleton collection stops you in your tracks.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton — officially known as the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked — is where AP’s legendary design meets its most breathtaking mechanical achievement. The skeletonised dial removes all unnecessary material from the mainplate and bridges without compromising structural rigidity, creating a three-dimensional architecture that allows light to pass through the movement from multiple angles — a feat of engineering as much as aesthetics.
What Makes It Special
The Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked features AP’s patented dual balance wheel system housed within a 41mm case, with the openworked structure revealing the Calibre 3132 movement in full from both the front and caseback. Available in stainless steel, yellow gold, rose gold, and black ceramic, each version measures 41mm in diameter at just 9.9mm thick — extraordinary thinness for a movement this complex.
The black ceramic limited edition is restricted to just 150 pieces worldwide — making it one of the most collectible Royal Oak references available today. Pride & Pinion
