The present Audemars Piguet is certainly both an icon and true work of art. Not only does i꧅t belong to the landmark Royal Oak family, a legendary series of wristwatches which in the past decade has been propelled to the forefront of collectibility, but is further embellished with exquisite brilliant and baguette-cut🅠 diamonds, allowing it to blur the lines between Haute Joaillerie and horology.
Truly mesmerising to behold, every outward facing surface of the watch, including the dial, bezel, case and every link of the brac♎elet, is completely covered in brilliant-cut diamonds. In total, 1,160 individual diamonds have been set on the white gold case, when also counting the 25 baguette diamond hour markers, and the pairing definitely makes a glamorous and luxurious combination. Nonetheless, the fabled and Royal Oak design is still immediatelไy visible under the diamonds, instantly recognizable by the octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet, and designed by the great Gerald Genta.
The alluring aesthetic of this watch 🐓is only rivalled by its rarity, and makes this lot an unmissable chance for collectors to🌄 own one of the most eye-catching Royal Oaks on the market.
