Pre-Owned Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Day-Date 'Owl' 40990265/AS05059

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

One name: Gerald Genta.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is perhaps Genta’s most memorable work, and in many ways changed the shape of the watch industry.

The Royal Oak essentially created an entirely new category of 'luxury sport' timepieces, and with it came a new design language which inspired countless other manufactures. What's particularly delightful about the design of the Royal Oak is that it works brilliantly in a number of sizes and casing materials, from steel to carbon fiber or solid gold.

This particular model, a Reference 25572SA, remains in excellent condition overall and features a 36mm stainless steel construction, a lovely gray tapisserie dial with gold-tone subsidiary registers and applied baton indices, a matching handset, and Audemars Piguet's Calibre 2124 automatic-winding calendar movement within!

Wearing slightly smaller than its "Jumbo" predecessors, 36mm Royal Oaks have become a favorite amongst collectors for its beautiful proportions, wearability, and value proposition.

Try it on the wrist once, and you'll have a tough time taking it off - don't say we didn't warn you!

OVERALL CONDITION

The case and bracelet are in excellent condition overall showing signs of light previous polishing and light wear consistent with age and use. Gray micro-tapisserie dial with gold sub register rings is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. Unsigned crown.
