Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon 2014 Watch
For 2014, the Royal Oak Concept watch by Audemars Piguet makes a return. Originally released in 2002, the Royal Oak Concept was penned as an ultra-modern version of the Royal Oak on the 30th Anniversary of the famed Gerald Genta-designed luxury sport watch. watches-dealer covered the last version of the?Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon in 2011 here.

I don't have any expertise to speak of in watch collecting, but my grandfather was recently gifted a Patek Philippe watch, a perpetual calendar model, by one of his (presumably wealthy, since the watch is apparently worth at least $20K) friends. I figured that this would be a good place to satiate my curiosity about said watch, especially since I haven't been able to find information pertaining to the particular model anywhere else on the Internet. The issue is that the reference number (I would presume that this is the 5059 written on the back) corresponds to a watch with some of the same essential functions, but with a different aesthetic design . There are no letters or other embellishments after the number 5059. I'd like to know the reason for this discrepancy along with identification of the watch, if only out of curiosity. Since I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the watch itself, I'll try to describe it in detail. I'll get a picture of it some time, but a lengthy descrip

Found a new one
