Others because of their metal. Every so often, a watch comes along that checks nearly every box a collector could hope for. This is one of those watches.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7174\" data-end=\"7561\"\u003eThe reference 14790 has long been appreciated as one of the most wearable Royal Oak references ever produced, but examples cased in white gold are exceptionally uncommon. While steel and yellow gold examples appear with some regularity, factory white gold watches represent a very small portion of overall production, making them some of the most desirable variants within the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7563\" data-end=\"7911\"\u003eAs remarkable as the metal is, the dial may be even more impressive. Over time it has developed a stunning tropical appearance that gives the watch an entirely unique character while remaining beautifully even throughout. Combined with an incredibly tight bracelet that feels almost factory fresh, this Royal Oak presents at an extraordinary level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7913\" data-end=\"8229\"\u003eAccompanied by its original box, papers, and Audemars Piguet service documentation, this is the kind of complete package that rarely reaches the open market. It represents not only one of the rarest configurations of the 14790, but also one of the most complete and honest examples a collector could hope to acquire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"1815\"\u003eWriter’s Thoughts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"8253\" data-end=\"8369\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eIt's easy to call a watch rare, but every once in a while you handle something that genuinely earns the description. \u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFinding a white gold 14790 is uncommon enough. Finding one with a beautifully tropical dial, an incredibly tight bracelet, complete documentation, and recent Audemars Piguet service is on another level entirely.
