The Square Royal Oak in Gold- The 6005 is part of the 'Wild Three', the Patek Philippe Nautellipse 3770, the Square Vacheron 222 and the Square Royal Oak. They are very quirky designs however aesthetically very pleasing. Another fact is that the brands did not make many of these, which in the age of today where everyone is seeking a unique watch, comes very handy. Here's the Audemars Piguet 6005SA in 18K yellow gold. a 32x41mm case that with, with the integrated bracelet has a great size on the wrist as this is the Jumbo version of it. The watch offered here is in beautiful vintage condition and has been retained well for a watch that is older than 40 years. The gold has aged to a very warm color from over the last decades. The 6005 is AP's answer to the Quartz crisis and this is an example where it doesn't say that on the dial.The dial itself is a grey Tapisserie dial that is retained in very good condition, it is much more uncommon than the Black dial. The bracelet and the fine Tapisserie dial are the two main characteristics that remind us of the iconic 5402 Royal Oak. This watch just looks great on the wrist, the size, the color, the proportions are just amazing.
