The bold, distinctive design of the Royal Oak has made it the trademark model of the Audemars Piguet product range - the watch is considered a true legend among luxury sports watches all over the world and is without doubt a must-have for any watch enthusiast.
On the wrist, this Royal Oak with perpetual calendar and moon phase has much the same charismatic appeal as other Royal Oaks. The watch incorporates all the elements that made the Royal Oak the legend it is today: The screwed-in, octagonal bezel with chamfered and polished edges designed by Gerald Genta and the integrated bracelet.
The present watch is in well looked after condition. Both the case and the dial are original and untouched. Due to its age the gold case has slight surface scratches. The blue hands and the blue moon phase disc form a pleasant contrast to the deep, lustrous gold case and lend the timepiece its marvellous, unique look.
Between 1982 and 1993, Audemars Piguet created some 800 examples of the 25654, including 422 in yellow gold, 272 in steel, 72 in bi-color, 33 in platinum, and one in white gold.
