Way back in 2006 the manufacture introduced a new escapement that
functioned at a less frenetic 21,600 vph, but even at that time tests
had shown that the AP escapement was effective at running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even with virtually no lubrication from the pallet
stones, which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The
omission of lubricant solves a difficulty containing plagued watchmakers
so long as mechanical timepieces have been known: gumming or hardening
of your oil.
This fresh escapement draws on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He developed a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of the well-known escapements throughout the
day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer
via pallet fork and guard pin included in the precursor towards the
modern Swiss lever escapement as created by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the advantages of both
systems in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem
and introducing a different and important section the sport: rate
