This Royal Oak Reference 25730BA is a yellow gold dual-time complication that reflects the technical precision and aesthetic codes of Audemars Piguet’s most celebrated lineage. Part of the evolution of Gérald Genta’s 1972 design, it expands the Royal Oak’s mechanical complexity while preserving the purity of its octagonal form.
Crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, the 36mm case features the hallmark integrated bracelet, hexagonal bezel with white gold screws, and the finely brushed and polished finish emblematic of Le Brassus craftsmanship. The “Petite Tapisserie” dial presents a balanced layout: local time, dual-time register at six, date between one and two, and power reserve at ten. Inside beats the Caliber 2229/2845, a self-winding movement derived from the Jaeger-LeCoultre 889 and fitted with a Dubois-Depraz module.
Produced in limited numbers and rarely seen in full yellow gold, the 25730BA carries a commanding and elegant presence on the wrist. For the seasoned AP collector, it is a connoisseur’s Royal Oak. For the first-time buyer, it offers an extraordinary introduction to the Maison’s legacy and an immediate ascent into the tier of design and execution that made the Royal Oak an icon of modern watchmaking.
