Reasons to Bid

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time ‘Yves Klein’ Ref. 25730ST.O.0789ST.03 is among the most sought-after neo-vintage Royal Oak variants, distinguished by its vivid electric blue Tapisserie guilloche dial. The nickname ‘Yves Klein’ refers to the French artist known for his signature ultramarine pigment, underscoring the dial’s strong visual identity. Crafted in stainless steel with a 36mm diameter and integrated bracelet, the reference ever-popular Gérald Genta’s enduring Royal Oak design language with a practical dual time complication. The blue dial contrasts sharply with the polished and brushed steel surfaces and incorporates a second time zone sub-dial, power reserve indicator, and date display, forming a clear and well-balanced asymmetrical layout that maintains both daily utility and the aesthetic characteristics of the Royal Oak.
