The big one. Yves Klein blue dials on Audemars Piguet are rare enough as it is, but one with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stamp is basically impossible to find.
The story we have: this watch was inspected and archived by Audemars Piguet themselves dated June 10th 2026. They confirmed all legitimacy of the watch and dial, making this the only Yves Klein dial with a confirmed Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stamp with official archives currently known on the market. Anyone who knows Audemars Piguet archival operation knows they don't take in dials that are messed with.
This was not something you could special order or ask for at an Audemars Piguet. The only way to get this watch with this dial with that stamp was to be a royal in the House of Saud and to buy it in Saudi Arabia. So this watch was only offered exclusively to royalty or those the royals deemed fit to have them.
How did it end up here? What we know now is that it was specially made and purchased by a royal house member in 1998. It was possibly given as a gift to someone. That person who received it as a gift sold it, and now it is here at Aletto Jewelers. This is truly a one-of-a-kind piece, as the only other pieces we know of are owned by the Saudi royals or are in the safes of the most premium level of collectors. And now we have it here. Hope you enjoy.
