Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 56175TR - Tantalum And Gold Bracelet Grey Dial

Details

An Unconventional Mix Of Metals

The Royal Oak has always been a platform for audacious design, but this reference takes it a step further with its use of Tantalum. This is not your standard steel sports watch. Tantalum is a rare, dense, and corrosion-proof metal with a unique blue-grey luster that sets it apart from steel or titanium. Its rarity in watchmaking is not due to scarcity in the earth, but because it is notoriously difficult and expensive to machine, often destroying the tools used to shape it. Pairing this high-tech metal with gold on Genta's iconic design is a confident move that speaks to the experimental spirit of Audemars Piguet.

The Grab And Go Icon

This 33mm example offers the classic Royal Oak experience in a versatile size that wears comfortably on a wide range of wrists. The quartz movement provides exceptional accuracy and reliability, making this a perfect grab-and-go version of a design legend. There is no need for winding or setting; it is simply ready when you are. The combination of the brushed grey dial, the cool tone of the tantalum, and the warmth of the gold links creates a subtle yet complex look that works as a fantastic daily watch.

Honest Wear On A Unique Bracelet

The watch is in good overall condition, with signs of use consistent with a piece from the 1990s. The unpolished stainless steel case and bezel show honest wear but maintain their strong, iconic lines. The unique Tantalum and Gold bracelet shows more visible signs of use and has seen better days. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Different Kind Of Royal Oak

This is a Royal Oak for someone who appreciates the core design but wants a configuration with a deeper story. It is for the person who understands materials and recognizes the challenge and rarity of a tantalum watch. It delivers all the prestige of the Royal Oak name in a practical, reliable package that is made unique by its unconventional and sophisticated mix of metals. It is a choice that stands out to those who know what they are looking at.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
