Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet continually innovates by providing creative and fresh twists to the iconic Royal Oak model. From striking Yves Klein blue tapisserie dials to mother-of-pearl designs, the possibilities are endless.
The present watch was made in extremely small numbers, and research shows that very few examples have surfaced on the market thus far.
Featuring a 14k gold skeletonized dial, this watch displays Audemars Piguet's painstaking care in its finishing. The dial is hand engraved, with each bridge carefully molded and hammered to perfection. The reverse of the dial is equally as beautiful as the front, as the firm has spared no expense in handcrafting the gold.
Displaying a stainless steel and tantalum case and bracelet, the present watch is completely unpolished, showcasing the firm's strength in crafting Royal Oak bracelets of the utmost quality.
