This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Minute Repeater is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, referred to as a piece unique. The watch features a split-seconds chronograph, perpetual calendar and minute repeater, which chimes on command, demonstrating exceptional horological craftsmanship. It is the only known example of the Royal Oak with these advanced compilations encased in a combination of platinum and titanium. The green tapisserie dial with applied hour markers adds to its exclusivity. Similar models, produced in single digits, in ceramic command prices around $1.6 million, but this singular creation in platinum and titanium surpasses them all in rarity and prestige.
The dial displays a moon phase indicator and week of the year subdial at 12 o’clock, day of the week and 30-minute totalizer subdial at 3 o’clock, month and leap year indicator subdials at 6 o’clock, and date and running second subdials at 9 o’clock. The split-seconds chronograph hands are at the center seconds position. The split-seconds chronograph features dual stopwatch hands. With an additional seconds hand that can be stopped independently, it allows the wearer to measure multiple sequential events simultaneously, offering precision timing down to the second. The watch is complete on its titanium Audemars Piguet integrated bracelet with a double deployant clasp and is accompanied by its original box and papers.
Founded in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, Audemars Piguet is one of the oldest watch manufacturers and a world leader in haute horology. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, designed by Gérald Genta in 1972, is the most iconic watch from the brand and remains the integrated bracelet sports watch of reference. 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 maintains a strong following among collectors even 50 years after its debut. However, this one-of-a-kind example elevates exclusivity to an entirely new level and stands among the finest timepieces available on the market today.
