# Audemars Piguet Double Balance Wheel Openworked Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked is an ultra-premium luxury sports watch defined by its signature octagonal bezel with polished screws, integrated stainless steel bracelet, and a mesmerizing fully openworked dial that reveals the twin balance wheels of the in-house Calibre 3132 automatic movement, delivering 68 hours of power reserve; it's targeted at elite collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize technical innovation, heritage prestige, and avant-garde skeletonization in a versatile 41mm package.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.7/10.0

**Rarity Metric (9.9/10.0)** - Its exorbitant price and minuscule production run eclipse even many Patek Philippe limited editions in exclusivity.
**Movement Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The openworked Calibre 3132 with dual balances for enhanced stability rivals the finest in-house efforts from Vacheron Constantin.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The intricate skeletonized dial with signature Tapisserie accents sets a benchmark for haute horlogerie aesthetics akin to peak A. Lange & Söhne.
**Brand Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Audemars Piguet's storied prestige and craftsmanship place it firmly at the pinnacle, comparable to Patek Philippe.
**Material Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Impeccable stainless steel case finishing and AR-coated sapphire elevate it beyond standard Rolex Oystersteel builds.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.5/10.0)** - The revolutionary Royal Oak lineage meets cutting-edge dual balance innovation, echoing the impact of Gerald Genta's original design.
**Versatility Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Seamlessly transitions from boardroom to yacht deck, outperforming most Omega Seamaster models in lifestyle adaptability.
**Complications Metric (6.3/10.0)** - The visible dual balance wheels provide technical intrigue but fall short of true multi-function heavyweights like IWC Portugiesers.
**Functions Metric (4.5/10.0)** - Delivers core timekeeping reliably but lacks the everyday utility of a Grand Seiko with date or GMT.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0

## WM Collector Grade: C

## Performance Insights: Dominates in rarity, movement, and design but underwhelms on functions, trading at a substantial premium to its $20,000 implied value.

## TPS Interpretation: Modest Value: Exceptional build quality and exclusivity come at the cost of limited practical features relative to price.
