Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 1980s

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 1980sHere we have a beautifully designed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak but despite the bracelet and design language similarities, AP never called the 6005 Jumbo a Royal Oak, it went simply by the Quartz Line. Our particular Reference 6005 SA features a 32mm two tone steel case with a sapphire crystal, an unsigned pusher crown, a gold bezel, and a grey colored hobnail dial with a yellow gold 'stick' handset. CASE: excellent overall condition, showing minor

The classic IWC signature on the black graph-paper dial adds a sort of studious sophistication to this decidedly lux but accessible 1980s sport watch and the best part is that it comes in NOS condition

3 factory Diamonds on the dial (the diamond setting at 9 has been replaced and is a tiny bit smaller than 3 and 6 o'clock)

original never touched white Paris dial in flawless condition

This example with a 18k yellow gold case is in stunning nos condition and has a wonderful designed white pie pan dial with simple baton hour markers would remain a constant in anyone's collections
