Our remarks

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak – Ref. 4100ST – 35 mm – Stainless Steel – Anthracite “Tapisserie” Dial – 1981 – Box & Extract From The Archive – Excellent Condition

We are pleased to offer this excellent Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Reference 4100ST, a beautifully preserved mid-size model from 1981 in stainless steel and featuring a striking anthracite “Petite Tapisserie” dial. 

Complete with its presentation box and an Extract from the Archives, this early Royal Oak exemplifies the refined charm and timeless design language of Gérald Genta’s iconic creation.

The 35 mm stainless-steel case reflects the original Royal Oak proportions with its angular geometry, integrated bracelet, and the signature octagonal bezel secured by white-gold screws. Its slim profile and balanced dimensions make the 4100ST a highly wearable and increasingly desirable reference within the vintage Royal Oak lineage.

The anthracite tapisserie dial is wonderfully preserved—its geometric texture catching light with depth and subtlety. The applied hour markers and baton hands maintain perfect harmony with the dial, while the date at 3 o’clock completes the classic Royal Oak aesthetic. 

Powered by an automatic Audemars Piguet caliber 2123, the watch delivers reliable, smooth performance and remains a fine example of the ultra-thin movement engineering that defined AP’s golden era.

The integrated stainless-steel bracelet is in excellent condition, displaying tight links, sharp brushing, and polished bevels consistent with the model’s original finishing.

This 1981 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 4100ST is offered with:

- Orignal square green Audemars Piguet presentation box

- Extract from the Archives (confirming production in 1981)

“A superb vintage Royal Oak, the 4100ST brings together the purity of early Genta design, the elegance of the anthracite tapisserie dial, and the charm of a well-preserved 1980s AP!"
