ROYAL OAK 25829SP PERPETUAL OPENWORKED – THE LAST WATCH OF THE EDITION – NO. 25 OF 25 PIECES
Regarded as one of Audemars Piguet’s masterpieces, the steel and platinum openworked Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Moon Phase reference 25829SP was made in only 25 pieces in 1997 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Royal Oak collection.
The final watch of this exclusive limited edition, no. 25⁄25, this Royal Oak exemplifies the rare and limited editions from the great watch houses that form the core of the Ultimate Collection. Furthermore, the present watch is offered complete with full-set of all the original accessories and Audemars Piguet Certificate of Authenticity.
This small series of 25 steel and platinum watches is interesting being made in ‘bi-metal’ yet with a ‘mono-colour’ aesthetic. The bezel and the centre links are in polished platinum while the rest of the case and the links are in brushed steel, although of mono-colour, the combination of steel and platinum gives the watch a certain look and feel of richness which is very subtle, yet without doubt provides a distinctive overall presence and glamour to the timepiece.
With only 25 examples in existence, the Royal Oak 25829SP Perpetual Openworked is very rarely seen at auction. The present watch represents a remarkable and all too scarce opportunity to own this complicated and highly impressive timepiece.
Royal Oak Perpetual Openworked Reference 25829SP limited to 25 pieces
Essentially the openworked version of reference 25820, reference 25829 was produced in the same period and made in 371 pieces in steel, 102 pieces in yellow gold, 174 in pink gold, 156 in platinum, 25 in steel and platinum (the present watch) plus one other made in 2006, 15 pieces in tantalum and yellow gold, 16 in tantalum and platinum, and 16 in tantalum and pink gold.
The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, first introduced in 1982, combines two of the great icons of Audemars Piguet’s heritage, the Royal Oak model and the perpetual calendar complication. The skeletonized or openworked version was introduced in the 1990s to allow the incredible finish of the movement to be visible through both the sapphire crystal case back and the dial and bringing a stunning new aesthetic to the Royal Oak model. The movement is the ionic automatic calibre 2120⁄2802 with leap-year indication, featuring the date, day and month and a moon phase with 29 1⁄2 day lunar calendar. The transparent crystal dial with grey subsidiaries completes this visually stunning and ultra-rare steel and platinum Royal Oak.
