Having already launched the Royal Oak in 1972, being the first luxury stainless steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet by the firm, the Royal Oak was developed into a diverse series of timepieces offering collectors a series of complications to adopt. In 1985, the firm released the ref. 25594 featuring a sleek 36mm diameter case with a calendar function indicating the day, date and moon phases.

An extremely handsome timepiece, collectors in recent times have been striving to get their hands on early and interesting Royal Oaks, and this is with no exception a hidden gem. Practical yet retaining its iconic traits further enhanced with its vintage appeal, the dial is finished with its signature petite tapisserie patterns as witnessed on their early Royal Oak models as well as featuring its original unsigned crown. Fitted with an elegant integrated bracelet, the folding clasp is of the early “blade” style featured in Royal Oak timepieces manufactured approximately from 1972 to the mid-1980s.

The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 25594BA fitted with a cream dial is a sight to behold as it is accompanied by its original guarantee and fitted presentation box as well as its original numbered hangtag. Preserved in excellent overall condition with no signs of polishing from the past, this is truly a specimen of the reference for collectors to acquire and admire.
