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.
