Truly a magnificent and extraordinary timepiece, the present Royal Oak combines the best craftsmanship from different parts of the watchmaking industry. From the frosted case finishing, extravagant gem setting technique to the skeletonising architecture, the present watch dazzles the wrist with a phenomenal presence. The finishing is developed by Florentine jeweller Carolina Bucci, a diamond-tipped tool is used to treat the case and bracelet, giving it a shimmering texture. The bezel on the other hand is set with 32 baguette-cut multi-coloured sapphires totalling up to 2.24 carats, its flavour of colour reminiscent of the rainbow is sure to charm any collector. Even the double balance wheel of the 3132 is skeletonised to showcase its intricate nature, beating with enhanced precision that works around positional errors of the balance wheel.
Complete with the box and certificate, the watch is offered in almost like new condition and is sure to capture anyone's attention.
