Notes
The reference 25636 is probably one of the most attractive and important skeleton perpetual Royal Oaks ever made. Produced over a period of about 10 years from 1986 until 1996, making this example around the last ones produced. With a total production of only 25 pieces featuring a rose-gold plated movement and the absence of leap year indicator that would become the norm from this reference on. Showing sharp angles to the case indicating little polish as well as its original certificate, it is only the second example in steel to appear at auction and the first with its original documents.
