Estimate: € 40,000 –⁠ 80,000

The present Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph commands attention in every possible way, from its bold and impressive 44 mm case to the intricate mechanical mastery concealed within. A perfect fusion of design and high horology, this timepiece embodies both presence and performance, making it a true standout in Audemars Piguet’s lineage of exceptional watchmaking. Seeking continuous improvement, the Maison released the reference 25 977 in 2003, showcasing a chronograph tourbillon complication. Only produced till 2013 and in very small numbers, the combination of chronographic function with tourbillon precision presents two of the most beloved and sought-after horological mechanisms. Having become an immediate grail for Audemars Piguet collectors, two different iterations were produced: a more sporty one with a blue dial and red accents, and the present monochrome black variation. The sophistication of the deep black dial, enhanced by the striking contrast of oversized white LumiNova markers for effortless readability, gives this timepiece a perfect balance of rugged masculinity and refined elegance. A true versatile masterpiece, it seamlessly blends functionality with style, making it an exceptional everyday companion. Preserved in excellent condition with sharp bevels and great proportions, it is further accompanied by its original guarantee and presentation box.
