Catalogue Essay
30 years ago, the Royal Oak was turning 20. While it was not yet enjoying the current planetary success, the model was already very well established and received so much popularity that the company celebrated its first two decades of existence with a limited edition issue: the present ref. 14802. The present timepiece is the rarest iteration of that celebratory model. In fact only 20 pieces were made in platinum. Some of them featured a blue dial with diamond indexes, some others - such as the present piece - an incommensurably attractive blue Tuscan dial. Taking aside the fact that it is a celebratory piece, its extremely restricted production, the heft of the platinum case and the appeal of the blue Tuscan dial would be enough to power a collector’s wildest dreams. There is an important additional comment to be made about this piece: it is so far the one and only time-only Royal Oak to feature a Tuscan dial, all others are found on perpetual calendar timepieces.
