Specialist note
Christie’s is delighted to present to international collectors and clients this fantastic example of the highly coveted and stunningly rare stainless steel and platinum limited edition Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar reference 25686SP. Furthermore, this superbly attractive Royal Oak is entirely fresh to the market and in very good overall condition.
Since the Royal Oak’s launch in 1972, few models of the range have ever been made in stainless steel and platinum; consequently they are extremely difficult to obtain. The present timepiece number 2 of 5 pieces only with a ravishing black dial with diamond-set hour markers, offers a perfect opportunity for the discerning buyer to acquire one of the most exclusive statement vintage Royal Oaks.
Reference 25686
The reference 25686 was distributed between 1989 and 1998. Only 299 pieces of the reference were produced in total across all metals. It is thought that 92 were made in steel, 70 in yellow gold, 26 bicolour steel and platinum, 31 in platinum, 18 in pink gold, 37 in pink gold and platinum. Reference 25686 was introduced as an updated version of reference 25654, the main difference being the crystal display caseback showcasing the ionic automatic Calibre 2120/2800 movement which features a hand-engraved openworked ‘AP’ rotor with 21K gold insert.
