  • Catalogue Essay

    Audemars Piguet's introduction of the Royal Oak marked the sensational dawn of the luxury sports watch market since its launch in 1972 at Basel Fair. Featuring a unmistakable combination of modern aesthetics, traditional complication and precision, the Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar has become a core part of the brand’s DNA and signature model.

    Displaying a stunning and highly desirable green Grande Tapisserie dial paired with a sharp yellow accent week indicator, the present watch is one of 50 examples made for the Hong Kong retailer, Unique Timepieces. The watch is powered by the calibre 5134 visible through the sapphire crystal caseback to showcase the brand’s exceptional finishing and craftsmanship. An instant success, the present model was immediately sold out when it was launched in 2018. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after Audemars Piguet limited edition models on the market.

    Presented in an absolutely unworn condition and accompanied by its warranty, accessories and a striking alternative of a green crocodile strap, the present example is fresh-to-the-market and offered by the original owner. High in demand, it is an opportunity not to miss to be one of the owner of this limited green Royal Oak.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
