Case Bracelet

• Material: 18‑carat pink gold case, bezel, and integrated bracelet with AP folding clasp—balancing luxury, robustness, and refinement.

• Crystal Water Resistance: Sapphire front and caseback with anti‑glare treatment; water resistant to 50 meters.

Dial Hands

The dial presents a refined interplay between a sand‑blasted grey central section and a snailed ivory zone around the periphery. It features polished pink‑gold Royal Oak hands and applied hour‑markers with luminescent coating—for optimal legibility and visual depth. At 6 o’clock, the captivating flying tourbillon aperture draws the gaze, orchestrating both mechanical precision and aesthetic drama.

Movement Complication

• Calibre 2950: An in‑house automatic movement integrating a flying tourbillon escapement, beating at 3 Hz with approximately 65 hours of power reserve and 27 jewels.

Aesthetic Presence

Encased in warm pink gold and paired with a grey-ivory dial, this Royal Oak variant radiates refined elegance. The sand‑blasted finish on the dial contrasts beautifully with the polished facets of the octagonal bezel.
