Catalogue Essay
Since its launch in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is still one of the holy grails of luxury sports watches today. Highly desired, the first iteration, ref. 5402 features a jumbo 39mm diameter case while the present example is a ref.15000, housed in a distinguishably smaller, elegant 33mm case. Encased in stainless steel, the watch is fitted with a rare, exquisite white porcelain dial paired with black Roman numerals, resembling the keys on a baby grand piano. Sporting a refined clean dial with a relatively muscular case, the present example is offered in excellent overall condition and will be a great addition to any outfit, no matter day or night.
