Catalogue Essay
The Royal Oak Survivor can be considered as one of the more interesting pieces launched in the past couple of decades. Introduced in 2008 during the global financial crisis, it was controversial due to the design and purpose of the watch. Produced in a limited quantity of 1000 pieces, the watch is somewhat a statement made by the firm that regardless of the current economic situation, Audemars Piguet will still deliver and will still continue to strive and create intriguing pieces.
With further enhanced aesthetics and oversized pusher guards, the watch is hard to miss. Moreover, the watch is completely blacked out and looks like a timepiece a special ops officer would wear. The present piece is offered in overall excellent condition and is accompanied by the full set of accessories that came with the watch when it was purchased by the original owner.
