Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in a 26mm yellow gold case, reflecting the geometric, octagonal shape synonymous with the Royal Oak line. The bezel is set with a series of round-cut diamonds, which are positioned to accentuate the contours of the octagonal form.

The dial is rendered in a champagne tone, providing a warm aesthetic that complements the yellow gold casing. It is fitted with diamond-set indices at the hour positions. The Audemars Piguet signature is printed on the upper half of the dial, and a 'Swiss Made' designation is visible at the base of the dial, near the six o'clock position.
