Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon

About this reference

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin reference 26511PT was introduced around 2012 as a limited production model and is no longer in the current catalog. This reference is distinguished by its 41mm case and integrated bracelet constructed entirely from 950 platinum, making it significantly heavier than steel or titanium counterparts. It houses the manual-wind Calibre 2924, which measures 4.46mm thick and provides a 70-hour power reserve. The dial features a blue "Petite Tapisserie" pattern with a visible tourbillon cage at the six o'clock position. Collectors value this reference for its combination of a high-complication movement with the density of platinum and its limited availability compared to standard gold models. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the mid-to-high six-figure range. A notable variant includes the 26511TR, which utilizes a bi-metal construction of titanium and ruthenium.
