The year 2022 denotes a momentous milestone for Audemars Piguet's most iconic collection - the 'Royal Oak'. Marking the iconic design's 50th anniversary, the manufacture celebrates Gerald Genta's audacious 1972 creation that captivated a new generation. Audemars Piguet succeeded with panache, experimenting with the famed monobloc case, octagonal bezel and distinctive hexagonal screws, paired with a tapisserie dial across sizes and executions. This encapsulated their spirit of innovation and mastery of complications.

The revered ref. 25829 skeletonized perpetual calendar exemplifies this ethos. Fitted with the cal. 2120/2802 leap year indicator, it improves upon predecessors with refinement. Produced from 1996 to 2013, merely 156 were crafted in prestigious platinum like this outstanding example. Its spectacular skeletonized dial mesmerizes with artful openworking. Substantial yet balanced, this exceptional timepiece will bring joy to connoisseurs.

This present example embodies the Royal Oak's enduring appeal, blending breakthrough design with artistic excellence. Born with the iconic case and perfected perpetual calendar complication and presented in barely worn condition, it satisfies every collectability criteria.

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.
