Royal Oak Quartz 56303SA

Introducing a wonderful Audemars Piguet watch. This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ultra Slim 18K Yellow Gold Combi Ref. 56303 model. This is a vintage Royal Oak model produced in the 90s, And it is a model released before Audemars Piguet officially opened stores in Korea, So it is a watch that is difficult to find in Korea. I also had a great opportunity to receive it from a famous overseas watch collector, And it is a Royal Oak model with complete collection value as it is in its original condition when it was shipped from the Audemars Piguet headquarters in Switzerland, Without any replacement of parts, Restoration, Or polishing. The Royal Oak model has complete collection value with its original appearance. However, It is known overseas as the Ultra Thin or Ultra Slim Royal Oak and is one of the watches with high collection value and demand, And is literally known as a very thin Royal Oak. Very thin thickness Royal Oak I would like to praise Audemars Piguet's technical prowess and timeless design that allowed them to produce such a thin case watch. For reference, The so-called Jumbo REF.15202 model, Which is currently the thinnest Royal Oak available in stores, Has a thickness of 8.1mm. However, You can think of this model for sale as an ultra-slim Royal Oak that is even thinner at a whopping 6mm. 6mm thick ultra slim royal oak Audemars Piguet is one of the three major Swiss high-end watch brands, And is a top luxury watch company, Right alongside Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. Audemars Piguet is the world's greatest watch company and one of the few independent Swiss watch families with a history and tradition that dates back to 1875. This is an old vintage model of the Royal Oak watch, Which is Audemars Piguet's representative model and has a symbolic octagonal design. One of the world's greatest Swiss luxury watches, Originally created in the 1970s by the famous Italian watch designer Gerald Genta with the belief that it was the world's first luxury sports watch.Gerald Genta, A famous Italian watch designer in the 1970s In the case of the early Royal Oaks that were first released in the 70s, The price is currently around 100 million to 200 million won, And the watch being sold is not a 70s model but a 90s model, So you can expect a similar value as time goes by. As you know, Models that have made their mark on watch history, Such as Patek Philippe's Nautilus, Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak, And IWC's Ingenieur, Are all works created by Gerald Genta. (See photo) A work born in the hands of Gerald Genta This watch was released in a 30mm size for women and a 33mm size for men, And the watch being sold is a men's model. It has an octagonal case, So when worn, You can think of it as a 36mm general Rolex Datejust men's size, Which is about the size of a round Rolex Datejust. This was the first watch to break away from the conservative shapes of circles and squares and use Audemars Piguet's signature octagonal bezel and honeycomb-shaped tapisserie dial.Octagon-patterned bezel and honeycomb-shaped tapisserie dial Starting with the Royal Oak, The case and bracelet design, Which are connected as one piece, Has become the most common and iconic design element in luxury watches. The Tapisserie dial is a dial pattern mainly produced by Audemars Piguet. It is a high-end manufacturing technique that creates a honeycomb-like dial with a pattern of regular square shapes. Audemars Piguet was the first to pioneer the production of these dials, With the motif of the balanced and perfectly balanced dial of the Tapithree bringing geometric stability to the entire watch. Originally, The tapisserie pattern was mainly used in the art world for paintings and sculptures, But Audemars Piguet was the first to officially use it on watches. It is still used today. Currently, Audemars Piguet produces watches with three types of Tapisserie dials: PETITE TAPISSERIE, GRANDE TAPISSERIE, And MEGA TAPISSERIE. The thin, Dense, Square honeycomb patterns used in the watches being sold are delicately and intricately engraved on the dial with petit tapithree, Which gives the watch a more three-dimensional visual effect. All gold parts used in the watch are 18K yellow gold, And it is a combination model that creates a very luxurious harmony with the high-end stainless steel of the Royal Oak. As you know, The combination with gold was sold at a much higher price than the basic steel at the time of release. The movement is equipped with Audemars Piguet's own in-house quartz movement. The quartz movement makes the case thinner than the Jumbo at 6mm, Making it easy to wear as it naturally wraps around the wrist, Making it almost impossible to know you're wearing it. The Royal Oak Jumbo and Ultra Slim models were both produced without a second hand. So, Unless you are a watch expert, It is difficult to tell whether they are automatic or quartz movements just by looking at their general appearance. However, Since they are quartz movements, They have the advantage of a thinner Ultra Slim case. Equipped with a quartz movement, It has the advantage of being easy to manage and convenient as a daily watch, And there are no inconveniences such as the watch stopping or the mainspring breaking. For reference, The new Royal Oak Jumbo 15202 model currently on sale has a thickness of 8.1mm, And the current used price is formed between 100 million and 150 million won. With a case that is thinner than the Royal Oak Jumbo model, You can feel the comfort of wearing it and the luxurious luxury sports watch. The watch is kept in its original, Unpolished condition for its collection value, And there are traces of time and scratches here and there. In order to preserve the Royal Oak's unique finish and hairline, It has not been polished separately, And if the buyer wishes, We will provide polishing free of charge. Preserving the Royal Oak's signature finishing and hairline Although this is an old Royal Oak model that was discontinued a long time ago, Compared to the new model that is currently being released, There is no significant change in design at all, And it contains the tradition and classic of the Royal Oak, And together with the 18K yellow gold combination composition, I think it is the best choice to enjoy a high-end sports watch at a reasonable price. Overseas, The current used price of the exact same model is around 22 to 25 million won, And if you pay the customs duty, The final payment is expected to be around 30 million won. The new Royal Oak Combi model currently on sale is around 60 million won.
