REF. 56342BC, CASE NO. D18541 AND 059, SOLD IN 1993

This solid white gold Royal Oak timepiece presented on the iconic Royal Oak bracelet also in white gold is an exquisite example of Audemars Piguet’s master craftmanship, featuring a diamond bezel set 32 brilliant cut diamonds and a ravishingly rich blue lapis-lazuli dial adorned with diamond hour markers, providing a striking ‘white and blue’ colour combination. Any Royal Oak model with a hardstone dial is a great rarity as very few have ever been manufactured. Due to their fragile nature and high manufacturing cost, hardstone dials are always highly sought after collectors' items and likely to increase in rarity in the years to come.

The present Royal Oak, accompanied by the octagonal Royal Oak box and undated Certificate of Origin, can be considered an important and exclusive reference that is rarely seen on the open market.
