AUDEMARS PIGUET & 1017 ALYX 9SM. A VERY RARE AND UNUSUAL 18K GOLD LIMITED EDITION AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH WITH SWEEP CENTRE SECONDS AND BRACELET SIGNED AUDEMARS PIGUET, ROYAL OAK MODEL, 1017 ALYX 9SM, REF. 15550BA, CIRCA 2023 Movement: Automatic Dial: Champagne Case: 37 mm. wide With: Yellow gold Audemars Piguet bracelet and double deployant clasp, overall length approximately 180 mm., International Warranty card, presentation box and outer packaging Remark: Limited edition 194 pieces Created in collaboration with fashion designer Mathew Williams, founder of the streetwear brand 1017 ALYX 9SM, the present Royal Oak is a very special and rare timepiece from 2023 and was limited to only 196 examples. As stated from the designer and Audemars Piguet, the goal was to captivate craftsmanship and emotion. This striking Royal Oak reference 15550BA forgoes the utilization of the iconic 'Grande Tapisserie' dial and instead uses a vertically satin-finished 18k gold dial with no date or hour markers to seamlessly meld with the case and bracelet, making the watch appear as one clean and flowing unit. The exuberant dial reflects an array of colors depending on the light, and it has an applied Audemars Piguet logo along with '1017 ALYX 9SM' printed at the bottom. What can be appreciated about this watch is that a tasteful size of 37 mm. width was incorporated allow for great flexibility in the broad array of wrist sizes of wearers. Completing this timepiece is the customized winding rotor with the multiple levels of finishing as well as collaborative co-branding.
