Audemars Piguet partners with Brooklyn-based artis

Audemars Piguet partners with Brooklyn-based artist KAWS to unveil a striking new iteration of the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon, spotlighting the artist's iconic Companion character.

The 43mm brushed and sandblasted titanium timepiece brings KAWS' playful artistry to life in a sculptural form. The Companion, features its iconic skull-shaped head, X-shaped eyes, and gloved hands, appears to press against the sapphire crystal, creating an almost lifelike interaction. At the heart of the design lies the tourbillon cage—a tribute to KAWS' Dissected series.

A limited-edition, 18-inch-high walnut sculpture of Kaws:Holiday Companion, sitting atop the Audemars Piguet’s headquarters is already sold out.

The AP Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon "Companion" is limited to 250 units.
