Considered the very first luxury steel sports watch, the legendary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak will celebrate its 50th anniversary in just 6 months. In anticipation of this milestone, Antiquorum has gathered a very special and rare trio of Royal Oak models for its upcoming auction at the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on Wednesday, July 21st, 2021. The Royal Oak has taken many forms since its creation in 1972 and has become a deeply sought-after model on the vintage watch market. During this auction in Monaco, two rare Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars in great condition will go under the hammer, as well as an “umarked” steel Royal Oak with black tapisserie dial from 1976, entrusted to Antiquorum from the original owner.
