A technical tidal wave is about to hit women with a penchant for Fine Watchmaking as well as aficionados who prefer reasonably-sized watches ! After making its first appearance in 2016, Caliber 3132 now reveals all the secrets of its anatomy at the heart of a 36mm case. Presented in a glamorous white frosted gold version or in pink gold for a classic chic look, the new Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked is above all distinguished by the expression of its mechanical virtuosity. Accentuated by the taut lines of the collection’s emblematic octagonal bezel, the openworked movement now unveils its double sprung balance on a single axis, a guarantee of enhanced stability and hence peerless precision. This impressive technical demonstration is highlighted by superb hand-crafted finishing and decoration such as beveling and polishing. The show continues on the back of the watch, where the oscillating weight has also been hollowed out to enable a remarkable immersion into the intricacies of the movement.
