Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26522CE Black Ceramic Tourbillon

Description

Overview
First unveiled in 2019, this timepiece is the third all‑black ceramic Royal Oak ever created by AP. Measuring 41 mm in diameter and just 9 mm thick, it combines powerful presence with remarkable wearability. The stealthy black ceramic case, bezel, and bracelet deliver exceptional scratch resistance—seven times harder than steel—while maintaining a lightweight feel on the wrist.
