Catalogue Essay
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual are among some of the most beloved and valued that the firm has produced over the decades since the mid-1980s. While most examples were cased in either a 36mm or a 39mm diameter case, it is not widely known that the second ever produced Royal Oak ref. 8638 was designed initially for the lady collector. The present example Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual ref. 25800ST was designed mainly for ladies featuring an attractive 33mm diameter case.
First released in 1996, the ref. 25800ST is most definitely one of the smallest perpetual calendar wristwatches ever produced. Well-balanced, attractive with good legibility, this is surely one of the most interesting and rare Royal Oak perpetual calendars of all time. Powered by the cal. 2141/2806, the movement was specifically designed for the present reference to cater towards its smaller case. The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual ref. 25800ST is offered in attractive overall condition that has been serviced by Audemars Piguet in the past.
