Audemars Piguet (Pre-owned - Good) — USD 21,930 on eBay

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 1300 represents a 33mm iteration within the Royal Oak collection, produced from 1977 to 1985. This reference is distinguished by its manual-winding movement and 18k yellow gold construction throughout both case and bracelet. The 33mm case is crafted from 18k yellow gold and features the characteristic fixed octagonal bezel. The gold dial is protected by sapphire crystal, with water resistance rated to 30 meters. The manual-winding caliber 2003 movement provides 36 hours of power reserve when fully wound. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a smaller-sized Royal Oak with manual winding complexity in precious metal. The eight-year production run from 1977-1985 positions this as a relatively early Royal Oak variant. The full gold construction and matching gold bracelet target collectors interested in luxury metal Royal Oak examples from the model's formative decade.
