Estimate: € 8.000 –⁠ 16.000

A specialist in the manufacture of watches since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. Known mainly for the Royal Oak, the lot here offered is an unconventional and elegant creation by Audemars Piguet. The material used is mainly yellow gold, embodying the image of the perfect gentleman watch. The lot here offered is a noble and elegant “Maxi Oval” reference 5419BA, the typical shape that people used to wear in the first part of the century, with an unmistakable style. What you are looking at is one of the last examples of the “old-style” wristwatches. The maintenance of the two-body solid, polished, brushed case with 4 screws on the case back is really remarkable for its quality. The dial has the classic champagne color but with that touch of class represented by the painted black Roman numerals. These style elements with the thin hands and integrated leather strap that enters directly into the case give this watch a classic look and feel.
