Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT 26589IO Black Ceramic

26589IO.OO.D002CA.01 Archive · used only

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT 26589IO Black Ceramic was a 44 mm titanium watch with an AP Calibre 2954 hand-wound movement. With a 237-hour power reserve, it runs longer than 99% of the 1,109 mechanical titanium watches with a stated reserve. On the maker's specification no steel touches the skin, so the guide lists it as nickel-free. It is no longer made, so this page is a reference for buying one used.
