Audemars PiguetRoyal Oak

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time is a one-owner example and was purchased new by the seller in 2004. The watch is accompanied by a factory wooden display box, a warranty certificate from Atlantic Time, and a shipping document. The original manufacturer’s warranty papers are not included. The watch shows clear signs of wear on the case and bracelet, including some softening of the bezel and case edges. Its overall condition is within the bounds of the seller’s B grading. 

This Dual Time reference incorporates a medley of useful complications seldom seen on the Royal Oak. Recessed into the silver “tapisserie” dial are three separate sub-dials displaying a radial date, power reserve and a second time zone. The angular case and tapered bracelet are fashioned from 18K yellow gold and expertly finished with a blend of polished and brushed surfaces.

A fine bevel extends from the mid-case and flows through the lugs and down the bracelet’s edge, highlighting the watch’s seamless construction. Hexagonal screws on the bezel hint at the maritime inspiration and complete the look. Housed underneath the screwed-down case back is Audemars Piguet’s calibre 2229/2845 which features a 48-hour power reserve.

A watch that’s angular shape has become instantly recognisable, the Royal Oak remains one the most desirable sports watches on the planet.
