REASONS TO BUY

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ref. 25820PT ‘Platinum and Mother-of-Pearl’ would be an excellent purchase for the collector who desires an utterly rare, almost impossible to find and charismatic platinum and mother-of-pearl perpetual calendar wristwatch from a world-renowned traditional watch brand, one of the undisputed leaders in the haute horlogerie watch market. Ref. 25820 is a classic collector’s item that communicates a certain era in the development of the Royal Oak collection – from 1998 to 2015, when the dials featured a classic leap year indicator, mostly absent in previous references, and before the later number-of-the-week pointer had shown up. Therefore, rare versions and varieties seem to be the most relevant, and deserve the closest attention. 

We are proud to bring to your attention this example, which is one of the rarest Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars ever made. Other execution features, both rare and typical for this reference, undoubtedly increase the attractiveness of the present lot. Its nice double-zero number seems to be the icing on the cake.
