Lot Essay
Perhaps the most desirable and spectacular ‘Rainbow’ wristwatch in the world, this magnificent white gold Royal Oak set with diamonds and multicoloured sapphires was made in very small series, thought to be only 10 pieces, intended for Audemars Piguet’s most loyal and important clients. This spectacular creation is accompanied by the full set of accessories.
Introduced in 2019⁄2020, the 41-mm-wide reference 15413BC preserves the classic Royal Oak identity whilst sporting a dazzling bezel set with 32 specially shaped baguette-cut rainbow-coloured sapphires. This bezel frames the amazing diamond paved dial that is made even more lavish with the addition of raised baguette-cut diamonds hour markers.
The colour matching and graduation of the multicoloured sapphires in respect to their colour and shape is exceptional. Audemars Piguet have taken extreme care in ensuring that all the stones on each individual watch are of the same shade. This sorting process is carried out by hand and by equipment that is usually only found in gemological laboratories. The result is quite remarkable and is what imbues these watches with an arresting quality that is hard to define.
A dream piece for any Audemars Piguet collector and incredibly highly sought after, the present watch is one of the Royal Oak Raibow’s rare appearances at auction, it offers collectors the chance to obtain one of the ‘must have’ contemporary Audemars Piguet showstoppers.
