What to know

Audemars Piguet’s second Marvel chapter places Spider-Man inside the mechanics of the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon. Reference 26631IO.OO.D002CA.01 uses openworking to make the hand-finished, three-dimensional white-gold character appear suspended above the movement. A 42 mm titanium case, black ceramic bezel and interchangeable black-and-red rubber straps frame the comic-book imagery without hiding the watchmaking beneath it.

The manually wound Calibre 2974 combines the exposed architecture with a tourbillon and a 72-hour power reserve. It operates at 3 Hz, while the 14.6 mm-thick case is water-resistant to 50 metres. The exact reference was produced as a 250-piece limited edition.
