Audemars PiguetRoyal Oak Perpetual Calendar

KEY FACTS:

•  First introduced in 1972, the Gérald Genta-designed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has become an icon of modern watchmaking and is among the world’s most sought-after luxury sports watches
• Originally launched in steel as a simple time-only watch, the Royal Oak collection now comes in many forms, but few are as emblematic of the watchmaker’s prowess than the perpetual calendar
• Released in 2001, this reference calls back to the original Royal Oak – borrowing the iconic “Night Blue, Cloud 50” shade for its grand tapisserie dial
• With four subdials to indicate the week, day, date, month, leap years, and moonphase – the dial is decorated with applied white gold markers and hands
• The 41mm steel case with fine polished bevels houses the calibre 5134, an extra-thin movement with a 40-hour power reserve
• Visible through the sapphire caseback, the 5134 is just 4.5mm thick despite its complexity, and displays a 22k gold openworked rotor
• As one of the hallmarks of the Royal Oak, an expertly finished integrated bracelet and AP branded folding clasp secures this watch to the wrist
• Offered by a private seller based in the UK
• A one-owner example purchased new from an AP boutique 
• Presented with its original display box, warranty documentation, watch winder and instructions booklet
• Graded ‘AA’ by the seller who reports the watch to be in like new condition with protective stickers (not original manufacturer) applied to the case and bracelet 

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
