Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time ref.25730 in Rose Gold, MOP Dial

In Audemars Piguet’s modern product line, this technically challenging and visually striking use of mother-of-pearl has all but disappeared. At a glance, it is unmistakably a discontinued and rare look, yet it also carries the unmistakable charm of watchmaking of the past.

Only when seen in person can one truly appreciate the shifting textures and tones of the red mother-of-pearl dial under different lighting conditions, as well as the sense of depth created by the recessed sub-dial. This particular example, presented at the Royal Oak 50th Anniversary auction in 2022, is not only rare in itself but is also accompanied by the official certificate issued by Audemars Piguet for the commemorative sale.
