Audemars Piguet - *Unpolished* 1990s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Two-Tone (Ref. 56303SA)
*Unpolished* 1990s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Two-Tone (Ref. 56303SA) Champagne Diamond Dial
Naturally, the Royal Oak was refined through the 20th century, and in the late 1980s, Audemars Piguet introduced a new line of mid-size Royal Oaks featuring quartz movements. These ultra-thin and remarkably wearable models technically measure in at 33mm; however, with the integrated bracelet and overall very long mid-case design, they retain the classic substantiality one would expect from a Royal Oak.

DIAL & HANDS
The original champagne tapisserie dial is simply stunning, featuring factory diamond-set markers for a subtle yet elevated aesthetic. The dial itself is in very well-preserved condition, showing no damage and only gentle aging in the form of a subtle color change at the center of the dial. The original gold hands are flawless.
