Good evening everyone.

Today, I would like to introduce a superhero that every man has dreamed of becoming at least once, who has collaborated with Audemars Piguet, one of the world's three major watch brands, to create a super watch. The partner of the collaboration is the "Black Panther," who appears as a superhero in the comic book magazine published by Marvel Comics, a popular American publisher.

This time, we will introduce the super watch "Royal Oak Concept" "Black Panther" . It is a rare model that you rarely see, so please enjoy until the end.

What is "Black Panther"?

The story is set in Wakanda, a super-civilized country in a remote part of Africa. Wakanda boasts an unrivaled scientific civilization and abundant resources, and is home to a mineral called Vibranium that has the power to change the world. In order to protect the country from the evil hands of enemies who are after this mineral, the young king dons a jet-black battle suit and fights as the Black Panther in this superhero series.

The film was released in 2018 and surpassed the popular superhero film "The Avengers" to become the highest grossing film of all time in North America. At the 91st Academy Awards, it was the first comic book film and superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture. It was nominated in seven categories, including Best Picture, and won three awards: Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design.

What is the "Royal Oak Concept"?

The Royal Oak Concept was released in 2002 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak.

This futuristic design with complex mechanisms was inspired by concept cars. It is developed as a high-end line of Audemars Piguet by using high-tech materials, delicate techniques, and the latest micro mechanisms. The complex mechanisms, including the tourbillon visible from the dial, are simply stunning, and the design, which never tires of being viewed, is so sophisticated that no other brand can match it.

Now in 2021, in a much-anticipated collaboration with Marvel, the Royal Oak Concept will be released with a flying tourbillon , the Black Panther .

What do you think of this incredible performance?

The three-dimensional and delicate design makes you feel like it is about to jump out of the watch. It is a model that far exceeds my expectations, even among the watches I have seen so far, and I was honestly excited (lol).

The dial is the most distinctive feature of the watch. The "Black Panther" that surrounds the super complicated flying tourbillon is a masterpiece made of white gold and finished with hand-painted paint. The body of the "Black Panther" was made by one engraving engineer, who hand-engraved the hands, claws, muscles, and facial expressions, and the unique texture of the suit was expressed by laser cutting. As for the color, dark colors were layered many times to express the contrast and texture of the shades.

The case, based on sandblasting and satin finish, is made of lightweight and durable titanium, and the black ceramic bezel faithfully reproduces the "Black Panther." The attention to detail in the form is full of Audemars Piguet's passion for craftsmanship.

The movement is the latest hand-wound "Cal.2965" with a flying tourbillon. It boasts a power reserve of 72 hours. The appearance seen through the see-through back is a finish that you can't help but be captivated by.

The accessories also make a big impact. The cutting-edge box that emits a purple light reminiscent of a superhero is truly impressive. It is in perfect condition, unused, and comes with all the accessories.

The selling price is 59,950,000 yen (tax included)

It's now apartment-sized (lol). However, because it is such a rare, popular and valuable model, there are likely to be very few opportunities to see one in the future.

summary

What did you think.

I wonder if I'm the only one who can't help but want to buy it when I hear about a collaboration model. And when it's with the superhero "Black Panther"...

Of course, due to its rarity and price, it is not easy to get your hands on this product, but when such a wonderful product arrives, I want to introduce it to everyone as soon as possible! This is what I wanted to write about.

We have been introducing super rare models from Audemars Piguet for two weeks, but recently we have been receiving many more wonderful models that are rarely seen than ever before. This is all thanks to our customers. Thank you very much. We will continue to deliver attractive products in our columns and on YouTube, so we hope that you will become even more interested in luxury watches.
