Royal Oak 5402 A serial is finally back from a spa!!! Sun, 30 June 2013 14:25

Almost a 6 months treatment, but I am glad she is finally back.

One of the best condition dial I have ever seen. The case was beautifully and expertly restored by the sorcerers in AP:

Noticed the tapered mirror finished on the caseback? This is a beautiful detail that the modern Royal Oak is missing!

Certainly a keeper this time. And this is a watch that is certainly going to be babied.

Totally love the dancing stars shimmers on the dial. Iridescent dial that shows slate, navy blue to light blue. All thanks to the intricate details on the petite ta[word removed]erie that even the modern ones can't beat.

So much more than just a watch, history and a masterpiece.

Your watch paired by Nautilus 3700 would make a fantastic pair! Same colors, same designer, same basic movement but two top class manufacturers with idea how a top class sporting watch should look like. Best, Kari

Simply perfect.

WOW. Interesting to see how much the plots drop out of the case lugs. Must make it superbly comfortable. Thank you for the inspiring post!

Stunning.
