This extremely rare Audemars Piguet Beta 21 is in perfect unworn condition.
The Audemars Piguet 6001 is an incredibly good looking timepiece with an undeniable 70’s coolness factor to it.
Launched in 1974, it was Audemars Piguet’s first watch featuring a quartz movement and was available in steel, yellow gold or white gold.
Omega had developed the ultra precise Megaquartz caliber 1510 – precise to one second a month which it shared with Audemars Piguet who labeled it as cal. 2510 and that can be found in the present reference 6001.
Design-wise the reference 6001 is almost a rectangular Royal Oak, keeping with the 8 edges to the bezel and the tapisserie dial. It even features the AP at 6 o’clock like the beloved ref 5402 A Series.
In 1875, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward August Piguet established the first workshop in Le Brassus. Still owned by the founding family, the prestigious brand is renowned for its “grand complications” such as the minute repeater. In 1972, its destiny changed forever with the birth of the Royal Oak, a luxury sports watch in steel, a revolutionary concept with a disruptive design by the legendary Gérald Genta. Today this model is still the brand’s standard bearer with a complete collection of Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore models.
