Since the debut of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 1972, the model has been deemed to be the pioneer in luxury steel sports watch of the century. Sought-after by many, the very first Royal Oak ref. 5402 features a jumbo 39mm case in size, Audemars Piguet launched the ref. 15000 with an incredibly graceful 33mm small-sized variant. Adding attraction to the present reference, the timepiece is fitted with a rare white porcelain dial. Graced with the elegant touch of black Roman numerals, the present reference sings with sophistication like the keys on a baby grand piano. A rare sight to behold and first time at auction, the present distinguished example boasting a clean dial and strong case is charmed with the Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives confirming its date of registration in 1997.
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.
