Lot No. 426 (94th Auction)
A collection of 2 gentleman's wristwatches
Audemars Piguet, "Royal Oak Automatic" Case No. 1632, 34 x 42 mm, circa 1995
A gentleman's elegant automatic Geneva wristwatch with date
Case: steel, screwed on back. Dial: black, engine-turned "grand tapisserie" ("big needlepoint"). Movm.: rotorwind movement, Glucydur balance.
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.
