Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26221FT.OO.D002CA.01 'Michael Schumacher' Laptimer

The Audemars Piguet  26221FT.OO.D002CA.01 ‘Michael Schumacher’ Laptimer is a groundbreaking chronograph created in collaboration with the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion. This avant-garde 44mm piece features a forged carbon case, titanium bezel, and black ceramic pushers, delivering a rugged and lightweight feel suited to its motorsport inspiration.

At its core is a revolutionary complication: the first mechanical laptimer chronograph with alternating flyback functionality. Designed specifically to time consecutive laps on the track, the movement features two central chronograph hands that can be controlled independently or simultaneously, a complication developed at Schumacher’s request. The black openworked dial reveals red accents, titanium bridges, and the Laptimer’s complex architecture beneath. With only 221 pieces produced, this watch merges cutting-edge engineering with the racing legend’s legacy, marking one of Audemars Piguet’s most technically ambitious achievements.
