Ref. 25829ST
Royal Oak
A very attractive stainless steel perpetual calendar wristwatch with openworked dial, certificate of origin and box
Full-Cataloguing
The present example in stainless steel is a gem of horological design and technical dexterity, with extremely legible calendar indications and a superbly finished movement that can be admired on the dial side. Whereas the dial side of the watch has a very contemporary vibe, the back side is an ode to tradition with its openworked backplate and rotor which are delicately hand engraved.
