1980s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Day-date 25572BA "The Owl"
This reference is nicknamed “The Owl” due to the placement of the subdials resembling the nocturnal bird. Earliest variant, non-lume mark 1 with vintage AP logo and the beautiful petite tapisserie cream or ecru dial which works so well with old yellow gold. The applied gold AP logo, hour markers and subdials are showing signs of patina in hints of cyan. Lots of vintage charm on this one, and a highly undervalued piece relative to today’s market of similar watches.
