AUDEMARS PIGUET Royal Oak Dual Time Ref. 26125 Factory Diamond Limited Edition 023/100 – 2010

Royal Oak Dual Time Macau Boutique Limited Edition – Introduced as one of the most practical complications within the Royal Oak collection, the Dual Time combines the unmistakable Gérald Genta-designed case with a highly useful second time zone display, power reserve indicator and date function. While standard Dual Time models are already sought after by collectors, this particular example belongs to an entirely different category. Produced exclusively for the Audemars Piguet Macau Boutique, this reference 26125ST was issued in a strictly limited run of only 100 pieces. This watch is number 23 of 100 and furthermore features an original factory diamond-set bezel, making it one of the most distinctive Royal Oak Dual Time variants ever produced. The contrast between the stainless steel case, the black dial and the diamond bezel gives the watch a unique presence while maintaining the unmistakable character of the Royal Oak. Dating from 2010, this piece represents an increasingly desirable era of Audemars Piguet production. Many collectors regard these early 2000s Royal Oaks as true neo-vintage watches, combining the proportions and charm of earlier Royal Oaks with modern wearability and reliability. Powered by the automatic calibre 2329/2846, the watch remains fully functional and runs well, although the service history is unknown. The condition is excellent throughout, with strong case lines and a beautifully preserved dial. Accompanying the watch are the original presentation box, outer box and an Extract from the Audemars Piguet Archives. With only 100 examples produced and very few appearing publicly for sale, this is a highly collectible Royal Oak that combines exclusivity, provenance and unmistakable Audemars Piguet design.
