Audemars Piguet A very attractive and rare stainless steel skeletonized wristwatch with bracelet, original certificate and presentation box, numbered 13
39 mm diameter
One of the most popular models among watch connoisseurs, Royal Oak has been a true legend of Haute Horologie since its debut in the 1970s. Designed by the highly-acclaimed Swiss designer Gerald Genta and launched in 1972, the Royal Oak was the first stainless steel luxury sport wristwatch with a fully integrated bracelet. The Royal Oak model, like other epoch-defining items from the 70s, has grabbed hold of imagination and admiration across the world.
The present watch was produced in a limited number, and our research shows that very few examples have surfaced on the market.
With a breathtakingly beautiful, open-worked dial, the present piece displays a wide array of complex and delicate finishing techniques which contrast subtly with the bold and iconic stainless steel bezel. The reverse of the dial is equally as stunning as the front, and the manufacturer has spared no expense in handcrafting the awe-inspiring movement. An exceptionally rare and exquisite piece of art for the wrist, the present lot is rife with connotations of taste and class unlikely to be missed by watch enthusiasts.
