    Part of the legendary Royal Oak series, the reference 4100 is the mid-size variation of the original model. Housed in a finely crafted 18K yellow gold case, the present watch is an exceptionally majestic example compared to its stainless steel counterparts. Contrasting beautifully with the lustrous yellow tone of the hour markers, case and bracelet, this example is fitted with a dark grey tapisserie dial. Offered in overall excellent condition, the present watch, recently serviced by the manufacturer, is a fine timepiece to behold and possess.

    Audemars Piguet

    Swiss • 1881

    A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

    Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
