To commemorate the opening of Audemars Piguet’s boutique they produced a limited edition watch.

Called the “La Boutique” Royal Oak Chronograph, it is essentially a completely blacked out version of their Traditional Royal Oak, a watch we have a lot of love for. The case and pushers are covered in black PVD, the face is black with white dials, and it very much looks the part of a Royal Oak. The biggest difference, and what makes this watch so unique, is its case back. Engraved on the back of this Royal Oak is the entire facade of the Audemars Piguet boutique here in NY. Surrounding this image are the words “Audemars Piguet La Boutique New York 40 E 57th”. Yes, the address of the AP boutique is actually engraved on the back on the watch.

La Boutique Royal Oak comes on a black alligator strap with deployment clasp, and with a wooden presentation box, There were only 150 of these watches made, so finding one for sale is quite rare, As lovers of Audemars Piguet and of New York, this is a watch we’d love to own someday. You don’t see too many black Royal Oaks, and the fact that there are only 150 of these watches in the world make it even cooler.
