Audemars PiguetRoyal OakModel No: 26331ST.OO.1220ST.03

When Audemars Piguet Royal Oak first hit the watchmaking landscape with reference 5402, it instantly challenged the status quo, subsequently heralding a new era of high-end sports watches. Over the years, this iconic timepiece has taken several appealing forms offering unparalleled functionality and effortless wearability with each iteration. Similar is the case with this reference 26331ST.OO.1220ST.03.

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak demonstrates the wonderful evolution of the collection. Its case is a notable 41mm in diameter and comes furnished with a fixed, screw-detailed bezel. The crown is sturdy, flanked by guards and accompanied by chronograph pushers. The finishing on the case is brilliant, featuring vertical brushing throughout and a grained texture at the centre of the caseback that comes elegantly engraved with the watch's namesake. The bevelled edges, 11mm thickness and the recognisable octagonal shape explain why the Royal Oak is not only a functional but a design champion as well.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
