Read moreThis insane “Tropical” Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 14790 was sold in Munich by the famous Wempe boutique in 1995. We are fascinated with this mid-size execution of the Gérald Genta design. At 36 mm this Royal Oak is more wearable than the ‘Jumbo’, but due to its 8mm thickness it still has a civilized wrist presence, and that’s what we strive for. It wears a little bigger than the 37,5 mm Patek equivalent, The Nautilus 3800. The ‘petite tapisserie’ dial has even faded to a crazy but charming tropical brown color. The original tritium on the dial and hands is also in fantastic condition. This particular watch, is a early version of the second series of ref. 14790, recognizable for the modern “Audemars Piguet” font on the dial and the capitalised A and P logo. For the
Connaisseurs: Yes, the early 2nd series had a crown without AP-logo, and yes, the original crown without logo is still in our possession and of course within the sale of this watch. The watch returned a few months ago from a full service at Audemars Piguet, ensuring that the Jaeger-Lecoultre-designed automatic calibre 2125 is in perfect running condition. The case and integrated bracelet are in equally perfect condition due to a factory laser polish treatment. Of course this watch comes as a complete set with the original inner- and outer box, the ‘Certificat d’Origine et de Garantie’ from AP, plus service papers dating to July 2020.
