At its core, Calibre 2982 reveals its energy in motion through a partly openworked architecture, offering a closer look at the mechanics of time and expressing a deliberate return to what is essential.
Purposeful creative exploration
Believing in the power of creativity to feed culture, connect people and broaden horizons, Audemars Piguet has long looked to the larger world for inspiration. Over the years, the Manufacture has fostered enriching dialogues across disciplines with which it shares an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, precision and excellence.
By engaging with creative minds like Yoon and Verbal, the brand strengthens a collective process bringing together designers, engineers and watchmakers to elevate the everyday.

In this context, the collaboration with Yoon and Verbal brings a new perspective, shaped by their distinct artistic language and paired with the Manufacture’s enduring savoir-faire in Haute Horlogerie. Creative director Yoon Ahn is recognised for her refined eye, while Verbal, music producer and cultural entrepreneur, is celebrated for bridging communities across artistic fields – and has long nurtured a passion for watchmaking.
Together, they are the driving force behind AMBUSH, a fashion label known for offering a lens defined by substance over trend while challenging conventions. Their practice spans fashion, music and design, opening conversations that transcend cultural confines and invite new ways of seeing the essential – an influence with a global resonance.

Designed to fit all wrists, the timepiece reflects the collaboration’s shared outlook: purpose over excess, essence over noise, mirroring an emphasis on focus and intent. At the centre, the red flying tourbillon serves as an anchor that sparks curiosity while reminding us of the importance of the core for a return to the essential.

Meanwhile, the dial’s openworked architecture echoes a shared introspective approach to design: removing distractions to create space for what is valuable. By offering a glimpse into Calibre 2982 and its energy flow, AP teams have combined mechanical precision with intention – an invitation to slow down, look closer and stay aligned with what matters.

Born from collective vision, this limited edition embodies the duo’s shared journey as well as their distinct paths, while drawing on the expertise of Audemars Piguet’s designers, engineers and watchmakers. For Verbal, the very first Royal Oak Concept launched in 2002 holds particular significance. Although not his first Audemars Piguet timepiece, it is the watch he owns that he treasures the most as it symbolises the birth of the collection and embodies the defining moments he seeks as a collector.

Today, the new model’s powerful design becomes an intersection of creative worlds, where the Royal Oak Concept is reinterpreted in unexpected ways while staying true to the Manufacture’s long-standing collaborative spirit and philosophy.

“Creativity is always in motion. You keep evolving, regenerating, moving forward, so the design of this limited edition had to follow that energy. For me, it was about balance, about creating something truly universal that anyone could connect with.” Yoon Ahn Ambush Co-Founder and Creative Director.
Bold minimalism expressive design
Celebrating both personal expression and creative connection, this new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon presents the collection’s architectural design in a compact 38.5 mm diameter. The bold geometry of the titanium case is highlighted by an alternation of sandblasted, satin-brushed and polished surfaces, while its ergonomic curvature ensures a natural and comfortable fit on all wrists. The black ceramic screw locked crown, which is topped with a titanium chip, furthers the timepiece’s choice of light and resistant materials which echo the collection’s high-tech character.

On the dial side, the aluminium flying tourbillon top cage at 6 o’clock has been anodised in red – a striking aesthetic exploration that symbolises energy in constant motion. In the same vein, the shimmering black aventurine dial, outlined by mirror-polished silver grey-toned bevels, opens onto the core of the movement, shining a light on the energy path that brings this creation to life. Lending depth and texture, this architectural construction highlights the blend of ancestral craftsmanship and modern expression. Together, these elements invite a moment of curiosity and introspection, encouraging the wearer to take a pause and look closer at what lies within.

The blackened 18-carat white gold hands filled with luminescent material ensure optimal readability, while the tone-on-tone inner bezel features a contrasting minute tracker to preserve the coherence of the display. On the back of the watch, the sapphire and titanium caseback presents a clear view of the ultra-contemporary Calibre 2982. The engraved inscriptions “Audemars Piguet”, “Y/V” and “Limited Edition” affirm the collaborative nature of the timepiece.

Reflecting a versatile, exploratory outlook, this model is the first in this size to be equipped with the interchangeable strap system, which allows effortless shifts between understated and more assertive contrasts. Suited to different moods and moments, the watch comes with a black and a red rubber strap both featuring a “micro-mosaic” motif while introducing a novel quilted pattern imprinted inside the strap for enhanced comfort on the wrist.

“Red has always been a powerful colour for us, while the tourbillon cage represents the heart of the watch – the force that keeps everything in motion. Red evokes the Earth’s core: the origin point, the source of energy and, ultimately, the beginning of how we measure time itself.” Verbal, Ambush Co-Founder and Music Producer.
At the core of calibre 2982
Developed specifically for this collaborative limited edition, Calibre 2982 builds on the technical advancements of Calibre 2964 – the Manufacture’s hand-wound flying tourbillon movement that brings together tradition and modernity. Crafted to showcase the regulating organ in full view, the new variation conserves its predecessor’s high-tech architecture while contributing to the watch’s purposeful design approach of removing distractions and returning to the essential.

A sophisticated, high-end complication, the flying tourbillon counteracts the effects of gravity on the watch’s accuracy. The balance wheel and escapement are housed in a tiny rotating cage – here coloured in red – that makes one revolution every minute. Unlike its conventional tourbillon sibling, the flying tourbillon cage is supported only from below to reveal the watch’s beating heart on the dial side. It is considered today as a symbol of watchmaking art, as it requires a high mastery of the craft.

For this limited edition, the tourbillon cage is executed in aluminium and framed by an anodised red top plate – a first at Audemars Piguet – introducing a decisive chromatic signature that anchors the entire composition. Positioned at 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon becomes both a functional element and symbolic core.

The timepiece’s layered architecture offers a closer look at the mechanism’s openworked barrel and part of the gear train, decorated with refined hand finishings, including microblasting, satin brushing and polished bevels. Shaped by complementary skills at every stage of its development, Calibre 2982 pairs technical refinement with visual clarity while exploring new avenues of expression.

“Audemars Piguet is built on collective energy. Working with Yoon and Verbal offers a fresh lens on the Royal Oak Concept's intricate architecture. Their purposeful emphasis on the tourbillon and the movement's core elements brings the mechanics of time to the fore, reflecting our shared vision to return to the essential.” Ilaria Resta, Chief Executive Officer, Audemars Piguet.
A platform for experimentation
The Royal Oak Concept saw the light of day in 2002 to celebrate the Royal Oak’s 30th anniversary. Inspired by Concept cars, the timepiece was launched as a one-off limited edition of 150 pieces. Combining a massive, rounded 44 mm case crafted in Alacrite 602 – a light yet highly resistant alloy mainly used in the aeronautical industry – with a titanium bezel retaining the Royal Oak’s trademark octagonal shape, this timepiece brought the collection’s legacy to new horizons. In line with its futuristic aesthetic, the dial revealed the advanced hand-wound mechanism alongside a variety of innovative functions.

The Royal Oak Concept established an entirely new aesthetic for 21st-century Haute Horlogerie, which led to the creation of a collection in 2008 following the release of the pioneering Royal Oak Carbon Concept with a tourbillon and chronograph. A platform of experimentation and innovation ever since, the Royal Oak Concept has seen the addition of unyielding materials, avant-garde designs and innovative complications attuned to the timepiece’s identity. Within this lineage, the first collaborative 38.5 mm edition was inaugurated in 2024 with the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon “Tamara Ralph” Limited Edition, unveiled during Paris Haute Couture Week. This limited edition remained faithful to the Royal Oak Concept’s design codes, although in a more compact size, and reinforced the Manufacture’s commitment to creating synergies with different creative fields.

Today, the Royal Oak Concept remains a meeting point between traditional watchmaking and culture. In this spirit, the collaboration with Yoon and Verbal adds another chapter to the collection’s history, reaffirming its role as a platform for new ideas and highlighting how the power of the collective continues to shape craftsmanship.
