Introducing: Audemars Piguet Quietly Releases A Pair Of Royal Oak Flying Tourbillons With New ‘Dimpled’ Dial
The new textured dial, featuring what AP calls a “dimpled pattern,” looks textured, deep, and full of twists, not unlike the plot of Glass Onion. Unlike most Royal Oak models, the “Audemars Piguet” logo is printed on the dial, not applied, which seems to imply rocky terrain that’d make it difficult to safely land the typical appliqué. The printed logo has the added effect of giving the watch a bit of a vintage “Jumbo” vibe – as much as any flying tourbillon can be described as vintage, I suppose. On top of that, the dimpled bezel is brushed in a circular pattern, which seems to make sense with the circular cutout for the flying tourbillon.
