The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo RD#5 is the watchmaker's answer to the question no one dared to ask: how do you squeeze a flying tourbillon, flyback chronograph, and peripheral rotor into a classic 39mm case while maintaining a slim 8.1mm profile? The result is a limited edition of 150 pieces that is not only a tribute to the brand's 150th anniversary, but also a watchmaker's demonstration of power: the new caliber 8100, the innovative use of titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), ergonomics inspired by smartphone buttons, and a patented rack-and-pinion chronograph reset that makes it all smoother than British humor. Whether you're a collector, a snob, or simply an admirer of watchmaking, the RD#5 is the watchmaker's equivalent of astrophysics - almost impossible, but stunning in practice.
