Royal Oak

An exceptional pink gold ultra-thin wristwatch with date, bracelet and original presentation box and guarantee

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak is a legend among watch collectors. The first stainless steel luxury sports wristwatch with fully integrated bracelet, it was a revolutionary model from the 1970s that was the watch worlds answer to changing tastes and fashion. The caliber 2121 automatic movement was the thinnest ever made and was so well received that it is still used today.

The present example of the Royal Oak Ultra-thin is one of the best examples to come to auction. In unused condition, and with original presentation box and certificate, it is a reminder to all collectors what an unpolished untouched example looks and feels like. There are rare opportunities at auction to become the owner of a new watch, but this example is sure to be a favorite, and sought after by all collectors.
