Audemars Piguet and Marvel work in collaboration and the two shine the spotlight on Spider-Man this time around. This follows the duo's previous launch of the Black Panther edition. The timepiece is introduced leading up to the upcoming film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
The Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Spider-Man is detailed with a three-dimensional Peter Parket at the face who seems to be reaching outwards and over the dial. The character takes about 50 hours to carve out by hand using white gold and the suit he wears is also engraved using a laser in order to develop the textile contrast. This is followed by other complicated processes as well including machine programming. The Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Spider-Man is limited to only 250 pieces.
