Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Yoon & Verbal Ref. 26643TI.OO.D002CA.01

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26643TI.OO.D002CA.01 was introduced in 2026 as a 38.5 mm limited-edition Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon created in collaboration with Yoon and Verbal, the co-founders of Ambush. Their work connects graphic design, music, jewelry, fashion, and streetwear, giving this reference a design context outside traditional watchmaking. Business of Fashion describes the Tokyo-based pair as operating between international acclaim and underground endorsement. The watch has a titanium case measuring 11.4 mm thick, with the angular Royal Oak Concept architecture fitted with a glareproofed sapphire crystal and display case back. The crown is executed in black ceramic with a titanium insert, while water resistance is rated at 20 meters. The partly openworked dial is executed in black aventurine, combining a dark, shimmering surface with visible movement architecture. A red flying tourbillon is positioned prominently on the dial side, providing both the regulating organ and the primary color accent of the watch. The display is limited to hours and minutes, indicated by blackened 18-carat white gold hands filled with gray luminescent material. A black inner bezel completes the dial construction. This reference is powered by the manually wound Audemars Piguet Calibre 2982, a flying tourbillon movement developed specifically for this collaborative limited edition. The movement is partly openworked and visible from both sides of the watch, with hand-finished decoration and an architectural layout suited to the Royal Oak Concept case design. The watch is fitted with an interchangeable black rubber strap with a micro-mosaic pattern, a quilted inner texture, and a titanium AP folding clasp.
