Audemars Piguet further expanded the Royal Oak collection into 35mm with a Joaillerie line that dressed the sporty Royal Oak to an extraordinary jewellery timepiece in 1987 with the ref. 14544. Powered by the self-winding calibre 2131, a quartz variant ref. 56342 was also available with the calibre 2612.

To get a sense of the rarity of these gem-set timepieces, according to the manufacturer, ref. 14544 was available in three materials: yellow gold (1987), white gold (1989) and two-tone yellow gold and steel (1991). Marketed from 1987 to 1992 in a total run of only 102 units, underlining the scarcity of haute joaillerie Royal Oaks of the era in general.

The present ref. 56342BA in yellow gold is encircled with 32 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel, the pavé diamond-set dial is decorated with 10 rubies as hour markers. Extravagantly beautiful, this particular example is very well-preserved. On top of its desirable qualities, this rare timepiece is also accompanied with its original certificate and presentation box, as well as a certificate of gemstone indicating its weight of 0.73carat of brilliant-cut diamonds with IF clarity and Top Wesselton color.

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.
