Notes

Launched in 1978, the reference 4100 was the first available Royal Oak made in a smaller 35.5 mm case. Featuring the automatic caliber 2123, this Royal Oak remained unsold in stock for many years as it was only finally sold at Seddiqui in 1991, long after the reference was already discontinued. Featuring a very rare white dial, it is likely that it was switched at some point with the hands during a service to increase visibility.

Provenance

Property of the original Swiss owner
