The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is an icon that echoes the brilliance of master watchmaker Gerald Genta. Genta’s genius also graced the designs of the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Cartier Pasha, solidifying his legacy as a true horological visionary. The Royal Oak, undoubtedly Audemars Piguet’s magnum opus, continues to captivate enthusiasts with its diverse materials, complications, and dimensions. This showcased masterpiece, Reference 26 120, seamlessly blends history with innovation. In production from 2006 to 2018, it pays homage to the original Royal Oak Dual Time reference 25 730 but boasts a larger 39 mm case. Crafted in 18k pink gold, this automatic timepiece features a tonneau-shaped case in impeccable condition, adorned with the original leather bracelet. The dial, a canvas of elegance, showcases a “Grande Tapisserie” decoration complemented by applied pink gold luminous baton indexes. Subsidiary dials grace the design, indicating the days of the month at 2, the second time zone at 6, and a graduation for the power-reserve indication between 8 and 11. A charming day/night indication further enhances the lower left section of the dial. The case is secured by gold hexagonal nuts and screws, a distinctive feature of the Royal Oak. The sapphire crystal reveals a self-winding marvel, the Cal. 2329/2846, adorned with rhodium-plated fausses cotes decoration. Accompanied by an Audemars Piguet certificate this timepiece isn’t just a watch: it’s a statement of refined luxury and exquisite craftsmanship.
