Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" - SOLD
The Royal Oak is one of the most famous watchmaking icons whose stories have become myths.
Designed in one night by Gérald Genta, the first Royal Oak model was presented in 1972 at the Basel Fair, after two years of development. This extraordinary watch elevated steel to a new status. By introducing the notion of "casual chic", it opened a chapter in the history of Audemars Piguet and the whole "Haute Horlogerie" world. Lately, starting from 1977, it was available for the first time in precious materials: yellow gold, white gold and two-tone.
This model is made of stainless steel, with the legendary "Petite Tapisserie" dial with the "Bleu nuit, Nuage 50" color. Over time, it has acquired a tropical patina in the center of the dial, giving it a totally unique appearance. The "AP" logo is located at 6 o'clock as on all of the early versions of the Royal Oak. This logo was a first for Audemars Piguet, which had already used these two letters on advertising material, but almost never on the dial of a watch.
The overall condition of the watch is beautifully preserved, with very sharp chamfers and corners.
