This is Gérald Genta’s first draft of the prototype for the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet. Created circa 1972, this watercolour was kept in his archive and resurfaces for the first time for Sotheby’s Icon of Time sale (bidding closes 24 Feb). Considered to be the very first physical visual of the iconic watch, this is rare opportunity for any collector to own a piece of horological history. #GeraldGenta #SothebysXGenta #RoyalOak #AudemarsPiguet gerald.genta.heritage AudemarsPiguet
