This exquisite ovular stainless steel dress piece couldn't be any further removed from the bulky brute of the Royal Oak Offshore line, or even the standard Royal Oak that Audemars Piguet is perhaps most commonly known for amongst today's collectors.

And that's why we love it!

Once upon a time, the manufacture from Le Brassus was known for creating truly superlative luxury timepieces with an emphasis on beauty over brawn. Pieces such as this Reference 77301ST, prove that they still can!

Featuring an oversized oval-shaped case crafted in stainless steel, it measures 39.5mm by 45mm with a thin profile and softly rounded edges. It features a factory diamond encrusted bezel which beautifully surrounds the silver multi-tone dial with both Arabic and Roman numerals, a stylized caseback, and a signed white alligator leather strap with a matching signed deployant clasp. This piece also comes with its serialized hangtag.

Artistic watches such as this one are fun and wonderful timepieces, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition will surface again, so don't wait!
