Notes
This lady's Royal Oak is an extremely rare version. Measuring 30 mm, it is unusual due to the fact that it is equipped with a self-winding movement (most of these sizes are quartz) and the dial is completely diamond-set. Launched in gold 1978, it was usually only available in gold or in gold with a diamond bezel. Made in only 63 units between 1978 to 1993, between 1981 to 1993 only 3 were sold and according to the client, she requested the watch to be sold with only a diamond-set dial as she did not want the diamond bezel.
