Catalogue Essay
Whereas it took Audemars Piguet 10 years after the launch of the Royal Oak to present its first complication in the iconic model range, the perpetual calendar in 1982, it took the brand an extra 15 years to present the Royal Oak chronograph in 1997.
The present chronograph from 2010 is a rare, extremely charismatic, example in pink gold, silver tapisserie dial with a bezel delicately set with brilliant cut diamonds. In fact, to the best of our research it is the first time this reference appears in an international auction room.
In excellent overall condition and delivered with its full set of accessories the present Royal Oak is flamboyant, sleek and extremely attractive.
