Description
This model 25686SP Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetuel Automatique is a VERY rare watch. With only 25 watches made, this watch’s serial number is in the mid-single digits. The so-called Tuscany dial has a texture unique to the dial on this watch. And it is an UNPOLISHED beauty!
Audemars Piguet hit horological gold when they hired Gerald Genta to design the Royal Oak in 1972. The Royal Oak is all about the case, the visual highlight of which is the octagonal bezel. The Royal Oak also has the distinction of being the first watch to have an integral bracelet. In addition, the fit and finish on a Royal Oak is always phenomenal. This case is sculpted from a massive chunk of steel with platinum bezel. The finish alternates between mirror finished and brushed surfaces. Size is 39mm diameter by 8.2mm thin. Sapphire crystal and sapphire display back. Note the screws visible on the bezel, which have a structural role, as they go all the way through the two-part case and hold the watch together, impermeable to water intrusion. The Royal Oak is Audemars Piguet’s first sports watch.
Fantastic and extremely rarely seen Tuscany Blue dial with applied indices and baton hands. Calendar displays month, date, moonphase and day. The lack of Clous de Paris decoration on the dial is noteworthy.
Automatic Audemars Piguet Caliber 2120 with 38 jewels, 292 individual parts, Gyromax balance adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and in 5 positions. Rotor has a 21k gold segment to increase mass and winding efficiency. Rotor is signed and hand decorated.
Integral steel bracelet with folding safety clasp. Watch is unpolished mint condition and highly collectable.
