AUDEMARS PIGUET "ROYAL OAK III" YELLOW GOLD
A yellow gold automatic wristwatch with grey "Petite Tapisserie" dial and date function.
Designed by Jacqueline Dimier and presented in 1977, the Royal Oak 4100 is also known as the Royal Oak III in the archives because it represents the third model in the collection, succeeding the 5402 and 8638.
It was the first Royal Oak to be equipped with a centre seconds hand, and its aim was to win over a clientele that considered the 5402 (39 mm) to be too large, particularly in Italy, the United States and Asia. The 4100 set the standards with a diameter of 35 mm. Right from its introduction, it was available in steel, yellow gold and two-tone versions. The majority of the models were equipped with Calibre 2123, but some of the later creations were powered by Calibre 2125 and others by Calibre 2124.
Launched in 1977, the Royal Oak 4100BA in yellow gold has been available with several dial variants, some of which are set with diamonds, in various colours (Bleu Nuit Nuage 50, gilded, white, etc.) and even in a non-guilloché version.
