Audemars Piguet 26522ST Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin SS Purple "Evolutive" Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin, reference 26522ST.OO.1220ST.01, is a formidable connoisseur’s piece, marrying the maison’s legendary Royal Oak architecture to a rare purple Tapisserie Evolutive dial. Crafted in stainless steel and measuring 41mm in diameter with an astonishingly slim 9mm profile, this model underscores high horology with its exceptional flying tourbillon and manual winding movement, a hallmark of AP's advanced technical refinement. The Evolution dial, adorned with applied white gold hour markers, not only dramatizes the ultra-thin design but signals contemporary collectibility — especially as purple dials are exceedingly rare in the Royal Oak line. With a glareproofed sapphire crystal and caseback, its exhibition side reveals the intricate finishing that Audemars Piguet artisans are celebrated for. Released exclusively in limited quantities, this iteration is instantly recognizable for its audacious color and technical prowess, combining iconic Gerald Genta casework with complications that cater to the serious collector. The 50-meter water resistance and robust all-steel bracelet amplify its blend of luxury and versatility. Uniting tradition and modernity, the 26522ST.OO.1220ST.01 remains one of AP’s most desirable tourbillon executions — a statement of both engineering and avant-garde design.
