Four shades of patina on Royal Oak ref. 5402. Three A-Series, one B-Series.
It is fascinating to see how the dials of the early Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches took different courses of changing their colors.
Left: A-3x
Upper right: A-81x
Middle right: A-12xx
Lower right: B-2000
Have a good weekend,
Cheers, HSTE

Really interesting to see how those Ro's dials aged.
Thank you for sharing dear HSTE.
The A-81X seems to be the most “preserved” dial no? But I think I prefer the patina of the A-3X
Thanks for sharing my friend. Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Michael and: yes ineed interesting. If the lume would have been radium, I might have ....
