Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph goes for $1.1 million at charity auction

Audemars Piguet contributed a dedicated unique timepiece to an exclusive auction during the La Cuvée One Drop 2022 philanthropic event in Las Vegas, Nevada. Net proceeds from this auction will go towards the mission of the One Drop Foundation to ensure sustainable access to safe water for all. The focus is on the health of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

The watch features a flyback chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds and a date. The timepiece was inspired by the black ceramic Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41 mm. That watch was unveiled in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak collection earlier this year. The timepiece’s 41 mm case, push-pieces, screw-locked crown and integrated bracelet are all crafted from black ceramic. There’s white gold screws on the bezel.
