This remarkable flyback chronograph is equipped with a 12-hour subdial at 3 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, a 30-minute subdial at 9 o’clock and a date window at 4 o’clock, embodying a perfect blend of sophisticated design and functionality.

Completing the watch is a stainless steel Audemars Piguet integrated bracelet with an AP folding clasp. This exceptional, unworn watch is offered in its original box.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, designed by Gérald Genta in 1972, is the most iconic watch from the brand. According to legend, the watch is named for a group of vessels in Britain's Royal Navy, which is reflected in its water-resistant design inspired by antique diving helmets. Recognized as the world's first luxury sports wristwatch, the Royal Oak continues to have a strong following among collectors even 50 years after its debut. The firm limits production making this example a rarity on the market today. This exceptional wristwatch celebrates this history for the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary in 2022.

Founded in 1875 by watchmakers Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the firm of Audemars Piguet is considered a world leader in haute, or high horology. Counted as one of the oldest watch manufacturers, the firm is known for its technological "firsts," including creating the world's thinnest watch, the smallest repeater movement, the first skeleton watch and the first wrist minute repeater. Today watches by this legendary Swiss firm are among the most sought-after timepieces by connoisseurs worldwide.
