These days, the news of auctioned watch often comes to our field of view. Today I’d like to introduce the Royal Oak Abruzzo Tourbillon Chronograph watch from Audemars Piguet that has been auctioned off in order to render financial assistance to the Abruzzo nel Cuore’ foundation recently.

The sum realized from selling the timepiece, alongside with such Formula 1 racing items as helmets from popular race car drivers Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Sebastien Buemi, David Coulthard, and Jarno Trulli, which present a great interest to the collectors, amounts to 215,000 dollars.

The timepiece auctions, held in the Singapore for the event to be conducted, usually bring amazing results. The Audemars Piguet devotes so much painstaking care on the new watch with the exclusive creation. While being at the cutting edge of technology, the style of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Abruzzo Tourbillon Chronograph hearkens back to the original Royal Oak watches from the 1970’s. It is clearly reflected in the hour markers, hands and the “mega tapestry” embellishment on the dial.

Much more sophisticated than most of its counterparts incorporated in Audemars Piguet timepieces, the model in question features a 30-minute chronograph. This watch is also notable for its remarkable tourbillon complication, which is a distinctive flair of the Royal Oak watch collection. The timepiece is accompanied by a fine strap finished with a folding titanium buckle, Featuring a sandblasted titanium case.
