Audemars Piguet, "Royal Oak Automatic", Movement No. 488813, Case No. E41594.023, Ref. 15202BA/O/0944BA/01, Cal. 2121, 39 x 48 mm, circa 2000
A heavy legendary automatic Geneva wristwatch with date - with original box, original certificate, operating instructions and hang tag
Case: 18k gold, screwed on glazed back AP 18k gold bracelet with deployant clasp. Dial: silvered, engine-turned "grand tapisserie" ("big needlepoint").
In 1972, Audemars Piguet launched the stainless steel "Royal Oak" model designed by Gerald Genta; its octagonal screwed bezel was inspired by the shape of a ship's porthole. The Royal Oak was actually designed as a luxury watch in a steel case, which was very novel at the time
