ROYAL OAK MODEL, REF. 14812BC, CASE NO. D16984 AND 025, MANUFACTURED IN 1993

This ravishingly beautiful white gold Royal Oak reference 14812BC with superb natural hardstone jasper dial can only be described as a collectors dream. To the best of our knowledge, seen here for the first time at auction, the jasper dial’s immense rarity and highly distinctive aesthetic places it as one of the most desirable of all Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oaks. Furthermore, the dial is confirmed by the AP Extract from the Register, as is the production date of 1993. It is thought that perhaps fewer than five examples of this 36mm white gold Royal Oak were produced with this most striking and beautiful of stone dials. The present watch can be considered as one of the most exclusive and elusive neo-vintage Royal Oaks to be offered at international auction in recent years.

The wonderful natural markings of the jasper hardstone applied with white gold upright Arabic numerals bestows an absolutely unique and immediately eye-catching aesthetic that is quite unlike any other Royal Oak dial. An extremely rare and exotic variation, it can only be found on a handful of watches manufactured in the early 1990s.
This exceptionally rare, high-luxury timepiece characterized by its white gold construction and a distinctive jasper dial is a true prize for collectors of the rarest Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks
