Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked 41 mm 26399CR.OO.D002CR.01 White Gold Skeleton Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked 41 mm 26399CR.OO.D002CR.01…

The Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked reference 26399CR.OO.D002CR.01 stands as one of the most technically ambitious and visually arresting wristwatches the Le Brassus manufacture has ever produced. Combining the complexity of a flying tourbillon with an entirely skeletonized movement architecture, this 41mm white gold creation is a genuine statement of horological mastery — a watch that functions simultaneously as a precision instrument and a wearable work of art. Available brand new at Bizak & Co., it is an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire a fresh example of a reference that commands immediate attention from serious collectors worldwide.

Audemars Piguet has been crafting tourbillon complications since the nineteenth century, and that deep institutional knowledge is evident in every aspect of reference 26399CR.OO.D002CR.01. The openworked approach — removing all non-essential bridges and plates to expose the movement's inner mechanics — demands dramatically more finishing labor than a conventional watch, because every surface that would ordinarily be hidden must be polished, beveled, and decorated to the same standard as those visible from the front. The result is a dial that ceases to be a dial in any traditional sense and becomes instead a three-dimensional kinetic sculpture suspended on the wrist.

The 41mm round case is crafted entirely in white gold, a material chosen for its cool luminosity and its ability to set off the silvery architecture of the exposed movement without visual competition. The white gold bezel frames the openworked display with an elegant continuity of material, while the screw-down crown provides additional security and underscores the watch's credentials. The leather strap, fitted with an AP folding clasp, completes the ensemble with refined suppleness, ensuring the watch sits flat and comfortable against the wrist regardless of the occasion.

The automatic movement within this reference upholds the standard that Audemars Piguet has maintained across generations of manufacture calibers. The tourbillon cage — visible in its entirety through the open architecture — rotates continuously to counteract the effects of gravity on the balance wheel, a complication that remains as impressive in practical terms as it is spectacular to observe. Every rotation of the cage is a reminder that this watch is the product of some of the most skilled hand-finishing artisans in the Swiss watchmaking industry.

Wearing reference 26399CR.OO.D002CR.01 commands attention in any setting. The interplay of polished and satin-finished white gold surfaces catches the light differently with every movement, while the skeletonized movement beneath creates an ever-changing depth and motion that no solid dial can replicate. At 41mm, the case size occupies an ideal position — substantial enough to read as a bold statement piece, yet refined enough to sit elegantly beneath a French cuff. This is a watch for the collector who insists on the extraordinary.
