1983 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Early Day-Date "Owl" Diamond-set Black Dial 25572ST

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 25572ST, produced in the early 1980s, is a highly sought-after and uncommon stainless steel Day-Date model that builds on Gerald Genta’s original Royal Oak design with a touch of opulence and mechanical sophistication. What sets this particular example apart is its extremely rare black tapisserie dial adorned with factory-set diamond hour markers—an unusual and luxurious pairing that contrasts sharply yet elegantly with the industrial character of the brushed steel case and integrated bracelet. The “Owl” nickname, referencing the twin apertures for day and date at 12 o’clock, remains a defining feature of the reference. Powered by the ultra-thin automatic caliber 2124/2810, the 25572ST combines the Royal Oak’s sport-luxury DNA with discreet glamour, making this configuration an exceptional and collectible piece within the early evolution of the Royal Oak lineage.
