Lot Essay

Collectors have long been discovering and researching the rarities from the last almost 50 years of production of the Royal Oak. Early examples from the ‘A’ series, tropical dials, perpetual calendars and precious metal versions have all captured the serious attention of watch enthusiasts. Allying dominant design and ground-breaking materials, the watches of the Royal Oak collection are amongst the most coveted timepieces ever, enjoying a continuously expanding popularity.

The light blue colour of the dial bestows an immediately eye-catching aesthetic that is quite unlike any other dial. This magnificent white gold Royal Oak set with baguette-cut diamonds was made in very small series of only 10 pieces, intended for Audemars Piguet’s most loyal and important clients. This spectacular creation is accompanied by the full set of accessories.

Undoubtedly one of the most noble specimens of the AP Royal Oak in existence, the present reference 26318BC affords collectors with perhaps the only opportunity in the foreseeable future to obtain this astonishing timepiece at auction.
