Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Yellow Gold Auto Men's Watch 1972

This is one of my best beloved watches, the Royal Oak, It looks classic, and the same time futuristic as the design is impeccable...
I am using it now for work whilst I am travelling…

It is heavy, ultra thin of total thickness 7mm only. This model has the JLC movement (2120), which is extremely reliable and robust. It's very comfortable and wears nice and thin.However extremely rare and hard to find, especially good condition.

… what do you expect a watch to be after all when it is Beautiful, reliable, water resistant, awesome Jumbo size of 39mm large and paper thin 7 mm!?… bearing the legendary name of Audemars Piguet!
As usual I carry one watch, two pairs of Tiffany Cuff links and one Pilot retracable Fountain pen, a Louis Vitton Bag and a Rockport aircushion shoe for travelling...visiting my customers.

Recently Matthew Bain sold one for around $20k US. I think these will be worth more when the 50th anniversary comes. Do you have box and papers?

HK Snob said...

Hi there
Mine one has papers but no box. I would love to have box too, but I think it is tough to get a original box.

I love this watch as it is superb accurate, the Original Royal Oak, slim and big enough to tell time!

most of All, being an old chap, I like Gold more than anything!

What S/N your is!??? I am eager to know... Can you share me the picture!?

Where are you from!??


RO Fan,

Hi
Wow, No. 68, a good number! Can you authorize me to put the picture on my blog, as I am trying to collect all the first few watches world wide and put it on a special post.

If I could get ten would be a great blessing!

By the way, the man who service the watch should put the hexagonal screws in one direction,
You watch is having randomly placed screw on the front bezel!

Did you notice? This is no big deal anyway!
Please tresaure this watch as I think this is one of the best beautiful design watch of the 20th Century!
