30 years ago, the Royal Oak was turning 20. While it was not yet enjoying the current planetary success, the model was already very well established and received so much popularity that the company celebrated its first two decades of existence with a limited edition issue: the present ref. 14802. The present timepiece is the rarest iteration of that celebratory model. In fact only 20 pieces were made in platinum. Some of them featured a blue dial with diamond indexes, some others - such as the present piece - an incommensurably attractive blue Tuscan dial. Taking aside the fact that it is a celebratory piece, its extremely restricted production, the heft of the platinum case and the appeal of the blue Tuscan dial would be enough to power a collector’s wildest dreams. There is an important additional comment to be made about this piece: it is so far the one and only time-only Royal Oak to feature a Tuscan dial, all others are found on perpetual calendar timepieces.
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.
