Few people are aware that the quality of the sound emitted by a watch largely depends on the metal from which the case is made, as well as its volume. The larger the case and the lighter and harder the materials, the more it enables the acoustic waves to expand. The 47 mm titanium case thereby maximises the sound volume, thus enhancing connoisseurs\u2019 listening pleasure.<br \/><br \/>In addition to its original design, this extraordinary instrument also houses an exceptional movement combining highly sought-after horological complications including a tourbillon regulator and a minute repeater mechanism. Assembled within a single mechanism and complemented by a chronograph function, they form a rare and outstanding whole. <br \/><br \/>The appealingly curved case of the Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph accommodates a mechanical hand-wound 13 \u00bc-ligne (29.90 mm) calibre that is 7.65 mm thick and comprises 504 parts \u2013 of which some of the individual elements and mechanical subsets are visible through the transparent case-back. Moreover, the 83 parts composing the one-minute rotating tourbillon with its balance oscillating at a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour may be admired through the dial opening, thus enabling the owner of this fantastic instrument to revel in the sight of this 0.4 gram regulator of which the constant revolutions are designed to enhance the precision of the watch. <br \/><br \/>This exceptional timepiece is also superbly crafted by hand according to the highest Fine Watchmaking standards in order to reveal meticulously worked parts fully respectful of tradition. <br \/><br \/>The patient finishing work, to which specialised artisans devote hundreds of hours, is clearly visible through the transparent case-back. Finishes such as bevelling, recesses, sinks and sandblasting call for countless hours of fine craftsmanship and incredible dexterity, in a process amounting to around one-third of the price of the movement. Among the techniques used to make this movement visually appealing, bevelling is undoubtedly the most highly appreciated manual technique, as well as that which requires the greatest accuracy. This exercise, which calls for years of experience, consists in using a file to cut down the edges of components and in polishing them with a slightly curved burnisher, so as to highlight the rim by enabling the light to play across the bevels. These finishes serve historically functional purpose, by protecting the movement against dust and humidity, and thus any risk of oxidation. Nonetheless, these finishes and decorations will only effectively magnify the beauty of the mechanism if the technique involved in this art is fully mastered. <br \/><br \/>It is indeed a form of art fully mastered by Audemars Piguet and continually applied to our products. Functionality meets aesthetics in these infinitely delicate operations. This aesthetic treatment of the mechanism powerfully reveals this meticulous workmanship, executed to perfection at Audemars Piguet. In the case of this model, each part has been treated with infinite care. Some components, such as the hammers of the minute repeater striking mechanism which are visible through the case-back, combine two finishes entailing highly complex execution : a mirror polish that is so fine that artisans even joke among themselves that \u201ca glance is enough to scratch it\u201d ; along with a bevelling featuring interior and external angles embodying the ultimate expression of the artist\u2019s mastery. These specific angles, which can be easily pinpointed in the mechanism, may be viewed as the secret signature of the artisan, and provide undeniable proof of the authenticity of a work performed by hand because no machine could possibly produce this type of finish. <br \/><br \/>These two intense and exceptional models, with their cases featuring a particularly distinctive design, share the same Manufacture Audemars Piguet hand-wound Calibre 2874, partially visible through the case-back and ensuring a 48-hour power reserve. This watch interpreted in pink and white gold version fitted with an alligator strap is secured to the wrist by a pink gold folding clasp, while the titanium and white gold version of this Tradition watch comes with a white gold folding clasp.<\/p>","description_short":"","quantity":0,"minimal_quantity":"1","available_now":"","available_later":"","price":391500,"specificPrice":false,"additional_shipping_cost":"0.00","wholesale_price":"0.000000","on_sale":"0","online_only":"0","unity":"","unit_price":0,"unit_price_ratio":"0.000000","ecotax":"0.000000","reference":"26564IC.OO.D002CR.01","supplier_reference":"","location":"","width":"0.000000","height":"0.000000","depth":"0.000000","weight":"0.000000","ean13":"","upc":"","link_rewrite":"tradition-tourbillon-repetition-minutes-chronographe","meta_description":"AUDEMARS PIGUET SIHH 2013THE MANUFACTURE AUDEMARS PIGUET, FOUNDED IN 1875 IN LE BRASSUS \u2013 A VILLAGE NESTLED AT THE HEART OF THE VALL\u00c9E DE JOUX \u2013 HAS CONSISTE...","meta_keywords":"","meta_title":"Watch Audemars Piguet Tradition Tourbillon R\u00e9p\u00e9tition Minutes Chronographe | Tradition 26564IC.OO.D002CR.01  Titanium - White...","quantity_discount":"0","customizable":"0","new":false,"uploadable_files":"0","text_fields":"0","active":"1","redirect_type":"404","id_product_redirected":"0","available_for_order":"0","available_date":"0000-00-00","condition":"new","show_price":"1","indexed":"1","visibility":"both","date_add":"2015-08-03 22:47:21","date_upd":"2015-12-22 16:38:09","tags":false,"base_price":"391500.000000","id_tax_rules_group":"1","id_color_default":0,"advanced_stock_management":"0","out_of_stock":0,"depends_on_stock":false,"isFullyLoaded":true,"cache_is_pack":"0","cache_has_attachments":"1","is_virtual":"0","id_pack_product_attribute":null,"cache_default_attribute":"0","category":"tradition","pack_stock_type":"3","id":4292,"id_shop_list":null,"force_id":false,"customization_required":false}

DESCRIPTION

• AUDEMARS PIGUET SIHH 2013
  
  THE MANUFACTURE AUDEMARS PIGUET, FOUNDED IN 1875 IN LE BRASSUS – A VILLAGE NESTLED AT THE HEART OF THE VALLÉE DE JOUX – HAS CONSISTENTLY CULTIVATED THE AMBITION TO CREATE EXCEPTIONAL WATCHES. THE FIRST GRANDE COMPLICATION MODELS WERE PRODUCED IN 1882 BY THIS FIRM THAT IS STILL IN THE HANDS OF THE FOUNDING FAMILIES.
  
  As the ultimate sports watch, the Royal Oak Offshore consolidates and confirms its iconic nature by hosting for the very first time a Grande Complication movement. This exceptional Calibre 2885 (equipped with a minute repeater on two gongs, perpetual calendar and split-second chronograph) is a concentrated blend of the most amazing mechanical developments ever produced by watchmakers.
  
  This time-measuring instrument with its intensely modern lines is not the only exceptional model presented at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie by the Manufacture Audemars Piguet, which has produced a large number of rare and prestigious complex horological mechanisms since its creation. To honour the history of the company, Audemars Piguet’s watchmakers have also chosen to unveil a more classic watch in the Tradition collection, combining chronograph, tourbillon and minute repeater functions.
  
  Above and beyond the renewed expression of this recognised expertise in the field of horological complications, the Manufacture from Le Brassus is innovating in 2013 within the Royal Oak Offshore collection by introducing two new models featuring an all-ceramic case middle and bezel : the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, and the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. These instruments clearly cut out for action have been designed to stand up to external factors and to afford their wearers the rare experience of defying time itself.
  
  EXPERTISE AND TRADITION
  
  THE HISTORY OF THE GRANDE COMPLICATION IS CLOSELY LINKED TO THAT OF THE AUDEMARS PIGUET MANUFACTURE.
  
  No other timepiece manufacturer can claim to have had such an impact on the world of this major complication.
  The Brassus Manufacture is the only one to have been creating Grande Complication timepieces continuously since 1882, acquiring an unrivalled experience.
  This unique performance is a testament of Audemars Piguet’s skills, perfected over the course of more than 131 years in crafting masterpieces.
  
  TRADITION TOURBILLON MINUTE REPEATER CHRONOGRAPH
  47mm
  
  AS A COMPANY STILL IN THE HANDS OF THE FOUNDING FAMILIES, AUDEMARS PIGUET CULTIVATES ITS ORIGINAL TRADITIONS BY PRODUCING, WITH THE HELP OF BRILLIANT, DEVOTED AND MANUALLY GIFTED WATCHMAKERS, AN ARRAY OF WORKS THAT ARE ADMIRED BY THE MOST DISCERNING COLLECTORS AND CONNOISSEURS.
  
  This year, in order to express the very best in watchmaking, the Manufacture in Le Brassus has decided to develop a model equipped with complications and clothed in a case inspired by that of a 1920s cushion-shaped pocket-watch belonging to its private museum.
  
  The result is the Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph, produced in two 10-piece limited editions : one in pink and white gold, and the other in titanium and white gold.
  
  The first version, featuring a pink gold case middle topped by a white gold bezel, associated with an anthracite dial, pink gold hands and hour-markers, lends the model an original and timeless charm.
  
  The other version with its titanium case middle and white gold bezel offers the wearer the best possible auditory experience when the minute repeater is in operation. Few people are aware that the quality of the sound emitted by a watch largely depends on the metal from which the case is made, as well as its volume. The larger the case and the lighter and harder the materials, the more it enables the acoustic waves to expand. The 47 mm titanium case thereby maximises the sound volume, thus enhancing connoisseurs’ listening pleasure.
  
  In addition to its original design, this extraordinary instrument also houses an exceptional movement combining highly sought-after horological complications including a tourbillon regulator and a minute repeater mechanism. Assembled within a single mechanism and complemented by a chronograph function, they form a rare and outstanding whole.
  
  The appealingly curved case of the Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph accommodates a mechanical hand-wound 13 ¼-ligne (29.90 mm) calibre that is 7.65 mm thick and comprises 504 parts – of which some of the individual elements and mechanical subsets are visible through the transparent case-back.

  These two intense and exceptional models, with their cases featuring a particularly distinctive design, share the same Manufacture Audemars Piguet hand-wound Calibre 2874, partially visible through the case-back and ensuring a 48-hour power reserve. This watch interpreted in pink and white gold version fitted with an alligator strap is secured to the wrist by a pink gold folding clasp, while the titanium and white gold version of this Tradition watch comes with a white gold folding clasp.
