The story behind this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Pictet
The story behind this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stems from a private institutional commission. In 2005, to celebrate its 200th anniversary, the Geneva-based bank Pictet commissioned this commemorative edition from the manufacture. This piece has never appeared in the official catalogue, as the entire production run was intended for the financial institution’s staff and partners. To mark this initiative, the case back bears the engraved name of the original recipient. The reference 15189ST.OO.D083CU.01 distinguishes this production within the collection, documenting the origin and exclusive distribution of each piece.
Case, movement and strap of this Pictet Royal Oak
The stainless steel case measures 36 mm in diameter. It features a linear brushed finish on the flat surfaces and a clean polished finish on the chamfers. The octagonal bezel frames a silver-coloured dial adorned with the Tapisserie geometric pattern. The applied hour markers and baton-shaped hands are coated with luminescent material. A date window displays the date at 3 o’clock. The solid steel caseback, engraved with the Pictet coat of arms, protects the calibre 2225. This self-winding mechanical movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 40 hours. It features 36 jewels in its construction. The watch is water-resistant to 50 metres. The integrated stainless steel bracelet features articulated links and fastens with a concealed butterfly clasp.
Why this Audemars Piguet watch
The appeal of this timepiece lies in its provenance and design. The 36 mm diameter is a modest size, suitable for discreet wear. This commemorative edition offers the opportunity to acquire a version not available through traditional retail channels. It combines the model’s distinctive design with the history of a Swiss financial institution.
