This handsome 18K yellow gold wristwatch was created by the leader in "haute horology," Audemars Piguet of Le Brassus, Switzerland. Every aspect of this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak wristwatch is exceptional, from the satin-finished octagonal case to the contrasting cream-colored guilloché Tapisserie pattern dial with applied yellow gold hour markers and gold hands. The dial presents a date window at 3 o'clock and a running seconds hand in the center seconds. The yellow gold bezel has a 33-jewel movement beneath, powering this magnificent watch.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this watch is its size. While Royal Oak watches tend to be sold upwards of 42mm, this unique case measures 36mm, making it the perfect unisex design. The integrated matching 18K yellow gold tapered bracelet has a deployant clasp. This exceptional watch comes complete with its original box and papers.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, designed by Gérald Genta in 1972, is the most iconic watch from the brand. According to legend, the watch is named for a group of vessels in Britain's Royal Navy, which is reflected in its water-resistant design inspired by antique diving helmets. Recognized as the world's first luxury sports wristwatch, the Royal Oak continues to have a strong following among collectors even 50 years after its debut. The firm limits production making this example a rarity on the market today.

Founded in 1875 by watchmakers Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the firm of Audemars Piguet is considered a world leader in haute, or high, horology.
