Intervendue Starts the New Year With Auction of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Watches and Retro Jewelry

New Year, New Jewels is an upcoming auction from Intervendue. The auction kicks off with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 18-karat gold watch. Watchmaking leaders Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet established the Swiss manufacture in 1875. In all these years, the company’s mission has remained the same: to push the limits of watchmaking to meet society’s ever-changing needs. And when Michael Schumacher asked for a mechanical watch that could measure multiple lap times on the racetrack, Audemars Piguet took on the challenge and released the Royal Oak Laptimer. The Royal Oak chronograph watch, like the one available in this auction, can display continuous or discontinuous spans, even one-fifth of a second.

Among the available jewelry lots, an antique charm bracelet stands out. It is an 18-karat yellow gold bracelet that weighs 79.2 grams. It has eight carved coral charms with different figurines. It also has one blue agate and two lapis lazuli. Another notable jewelry lot is a natural jadeite and diamond ring. The stones are set in 18-karat white gold, and the piece comes with a GIA certificate. The auction has more than 200 lots to offer to start 2022.
