Catalogue Essay
While the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has enjoyed a prosperous line up of models and complications over the years, collectors have since shifted their attention to looking out for forgotten references that bear the firm’s iconic octagonal-shaped case. This is the case for the reference 56175 which can be found in tantalum, gold, two-tone or stainless steel. With a case measuring 33 mm in diameter, the model is powered by the firm’s quartz cal. 2612 allowing for an extremely thin case profile produced from 1990s.
Small but mighty, the Royal Oak ref. 56175 is a hassle-free Gerald Genta design that combines comfort and playfulness. Afterall, you cannot go wrong with an ultra-slim stainless steel sports watch with an attractive dial, furthermore the Royal Oaks from the 90s radiates a charm that cannot be found in modern counterparts. Offered by the original owner, the present timepiece is an attractive example from circa 1992 accompanied with its original certificate and presentation box.
