For those drawn to the Royal Oak’s unmistakable design but looking for something more refined in size, reference 25594 delivers exactly that. A classic 36mm case in solid 18k yellow gold, paired with a complicated layout that is as elegant as it is distinctive.

This reference offers more than just looks. It houses a full calendar with day and date sub-dials at three and nine o’clock, and a moonphase display resting neatly at six. The cream dial is finished with Audemars Piguet’s signature ‘Petite Tapisserie’ pattern, adding subtle depth and texture without overpowering the composition.

The example we are offering dates from 1993 and is in remarkable condition. The case and integrated bracelet retain their original finish, with sharp bevels and even brushing throughout. The octagonal bezel is crisp and unmarred, sitting flush against the case as it should. Inside, the automatic calibre 2124/2825 ticks away reliably after its complete overhaul by the Audemars Piguet service centre. The watch is accompanied by both the original certificate, box and corresponding service paperwork.

This is one of just a few hundred examples of this execution produced. Not just a smaller Royal Oak. A more nuanced one with the depth, proportions, and presence that make it stand apart.
