Just enjoy the photos taken today at SIHH....

Royal Oak Offshore Diver in new colors.

Navy

Orange

Yellow

Green

White

Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Openworked in PG

41mm

These sharp angles cannot be done by machine - lots of manual work poured into this.

Royal Oak Tourbillon Exrtra-Thin Openworked in SS.

41mm

Power reserve meter is on the back.

So beautiful. All of LE must be spoken for pretty soon.....

So cool...

Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked in Titanium

44mm

Very, very light.

Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked in PG

44mm

Soooo heavy! (surely lighter than all Platinum Offshore I saw yesterday...)

Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph Selfwinding in bright green.

Peripheral rotor (invisible as the rotor is on the edge without center).

This color dial must need real skill to have lots of holes like this model.

Rotor rotates on the edge. The curvy parts remind of the old pocket watches.

Those pushers, crown cover are all colored ceramic.

Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph in YG

(Titanium is available, but too popular today and I couldn't handle it)

Pusher/ crown cover are polished black ceramic.

That's it!

Did you find something you are tempted by?

Key Points from the Discussion

The Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked in titanium is a standout, potentially displacing other grail watches due to its complexity and lightweight construction.
While the new skeleton and chronograph movements are impressive, the Offshore Diver models are considered less innovative, with the Navy variant being the most acceptable.
The Royal Oak 41 Tourbillon Openworked in steel is a particularly striking piece, praised for its design and execution.
Despite the exquisite nature of the new complications, a long-time collector finds many highly complicated watches start to look and feel similar over time, appreciating the enduring appeal of models like the 15202.
There is anticipation for a steel version of the Platinum anniversary openwork tourbillon, which would make this gorgeous design more accessible.
Audemars Piguet excels in the execution of tourbillon complications, with some contributors believing no other brand does it better.

AP's new tourbillons are simply superb. The brand deserves quite a bit of credit for its executions of this complication. I don't think anyone does it better.
