An exceptionally fine condition example Audemars Piguet SS/18K Royal Oak Dual Time, D Series circa early 1990s. First and foremost, a truly stunning watch in pristine, never polished condition with rich gray textured tapisserie dial and subtly contrasting gold indications and hands. Measuring approximately 36mm, but like all Royal Oaks, wears larger than its millimeter dimensions would otherwise suggest.
There have been many iterations of the Royal Oak, but this dual time example highlights the technical prowess of AP while still retaining the signature look. With gold octagonal bezel and exposed hexagonal bolts dressed in gold, and subtle and distinctive gold hands and dial indications. Every surface of the grey gradient dial is used to convey a function. Featuring an automatic AP caliber 2229/2845 movement with date function, dual time zone, and power reserve, this Royal Oak is ready to travel. The two tone bracelet shows no stretch whatsoever and will comfortably fit a 7 1/4” wrist. The signature clasp features the low profile “AP” locking mechanism.
The 36mm Royal Oak continues to delight seasoned collectors and new watch enthusiasts alike with its comfortable size, vintage brutalism design, and gorgeous proportions. It is truly remarkable to consider the amount of horological advancements packed into this compact case.
This highly complicated example is a welcome departure from the time only Royal Oaks. If you thought a sporty watch should be all steel, and not 2 tone, this watch will definitely give you pause to reconsider. Of course guaranteed genuine, in fine operating condition, without box or papers, and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.
