Swiss haute horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet has introduced a new take on its women’s Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, which continues the theme ? established in the brand’s 2018 Carolina Bucci Limited Edition Royal Oak Frosted Gold ? of interweaving refined feminine aesthetics with complicated micro-mechanics.

The dial’s four sunburst blue circles, increasing in size with hues of blue, emanate from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock.

The new Royal Oak Concept Frosted Gold Flying Tourbillon is available in either an 18k rose-gold or 18k white-gold case. The watch, with a shimmering “frosted gold” finish and a contemporary dial composed of multiple layers, is the latest piece to emerge from Audemars Piguet’s collaboration with Florentine jewelry designer Carolina Bucci. Describing the first Frosted Gold timepiece for WatchTime in 2018, Bucci said, “I took the perfection of the Royal Oak case and bracelet and ‘roughed them up’ a little, juxtaposing the perfectly imperfect Florentine finish with Swiss watchmaking precision.”
