AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK SKELETON QUANTIEME PERPETUAL AUTOMATIC 18K ROSE

Most watches have some amount of art integrated in them, whether it's vestiges of the watchmaker's art evidenced in the movement, or a skilled designer's work on the dial, or case lines that required the mind of an architect to conceive. This watch, though, is drenched and dripping with artistry. From the metallurgist who formed the case according to Gerald Genta's blueprints, to the skeletonizer/engraver who put their touch to bear on this most special of movements... If you have the choice to put anything you want on your wrist, then you will not find a more stunning watch than this. Royal Oak in 18k rose gold on integral 18k rose gold bracelet with ‘AP’ shaped clasp in new never worn, never polished condition. Think sharp edges. Case alternates between brushed and mirror finished surfaces, 39mm in diameter, with sapphire crystals front and back. Royal Oak is iconic for its octagonal bezel with exposed structural white gold screws and the fit and finish on a Royal Oak is the best in the watch business. Movement is the AP Caliber 2120/2802 automatic with 38 jewels, 40 hour power reserve and a hand decorated skeletonized rotor with 21k segment for increased mass/winding efficiency. Properly speaking there is no dial since the watch is skeletonized. The indexes display the calendar functions including the leap year cycle, which is unusual on a Royal Oak perpetual calendar. The watch is surprisingly legible for a skeletonized and complicated perpetual calendar interface. This is the kind of watch that can be the centerpiece of any collection. Watch is in new never polished condition with box and papers.
