AP x KAWS Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Companion”

As mentioned above, Audemars Piguet loves collaborations. The watch manufacture invited New York-based designer KAWS to co-create each. The result is the limited edition AP x KAWS Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Companion” released in 2024, named after often the artist’s famous character. Partner is said to be a dark model of Mickey Mouse, with a brain and crossbones-shaped head, X-shaped eyes, and gloved arms that sit right in the heart of the dial. To make area for the titanium-made Companion, AP chose to remove the traditional centre hand and instead go with any peripheral time display, with all the hour and minute hands and fingers rotating around the edge in the movement and dial. These kinds of hands are moved by means of two visible superimposed things, which in turn are driven through pinions and guided simply by rollers. This is the first time Audemars Piguet has used this type of moment display, but it certainly wil be the last. The tourbillon is located at the traditional 6th o’clock position, where the companion’s chest would be.



Like the minifigure, the 43mm concept case is also manufactured from titanium, with a dark gray calfskin strap for a elegant monochrome look. Limited to 300 pieces, the AP back button KAWS watch is driven by the new Caliber 2979 peripheral hour and second manual-winding movement. This 2024 release will undoubtedly be a warm item on the collector’s industry.
