Audemars Piguet A very fine, rare and highly attractive white gold wristwatch with lapis lazuli dial, diamond-set bezel, date, bracelet and presentation box
35 mm diameter
An exquisite and extremely fine artwork for the wrist, the present lot is rife with connotations of class and taste unlikely to be overlooked by watch enthusiasts. Lavishly adorned with imposing diamonds and a wondrous lapis lazuli dial, the present watch is a majestic iteration of the Royal Oak series. Atop the breathtakingly beautiful blue lapis lazuli dial, a set of diamonds were applied as hour markers. Setting diamonds on lapis lazuli requires incredible craftsmanship, as the lapis stone is extremely fragile. Together with the 18 karat white gold case and bracelet, the dazzling diamond-set bezel captures its beholders’ eyes with great amazement.
Completed with an arresting aura of precious materials, the present watch amply embodies the technical prowess of Haute Horlogerie and is one of the most beautiful Royal Oaks ever made. The case back is numbered 23, signifying its rarity.
