Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ultra Thin Blue Petite Tapisserie Stainless Steel Unpolished Ref. 56175ST From Circa 1993

An exceptional Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 56175ST, preserved in remarkably original, unpolished condition. Crafted entirely in stainless steel and featuring the beautiful deep blue Petite Tapisserie dial, this ultra-thin Royal Oak is a particularly compelling example for collectors who appreciate originality and exceptional preservation. The 33 mm stainless steel case retains its razor-sharp edges, beautifully defined octagonal bezel and, most importantly, its original factory polishing and brushing. Never polished, the watch displays the crisp architectural lines that make the Royal Oak so distinctive. Finding a vintage steel Royal Oak with this level of preservation is becoming increasingly difficult. Equally impressive is the original stainless steel integrated bracelet, which remains exceptionally strong and tight, with no stretch. Its sharp links and beautifully preserved finishing perfectly complement the outstanding condition of the case. With the included extra link, the bracelet measures approximately 18 cm. The stunning original Audemars Piguet deep blue Petite Tapisserie dial provides a wonderful contrast against the brushed steel. The watch also retains its original AP-signed crown and features a sapphire crystal. Inside beats the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2612 quartz movement, working excellently. The early D-series serial number suggests a production date of approximately 1993, although the exact year can only be confirmed through an Audemars Piguet archive extract.
