Audemars Piguet was kind enough to invite me down to the last night event for the Royal Oak 40th Anniversary Exhibition which was an event held together with Sincere Watches in Singapore. My gratitude to AP Singapore for the invite.  

A short video on the exhibition

Some exceptional Royal Oaks and Offshores were on display that makes me think that I need another Royal Oak in my watch box ;) Before we delve into the post itself, if u didn't already know it, i love the Royal Oak and the Royal Oak Offshore design so if i gush a little, well u now know the reason :) i highly recommend folks watch this set of videos that was shown at the exhibition too on the making of a royal oak LINK

So this is going to be a long post. I'm gonna do it in 2 parts. this one will have

(1) Watch Pics ~ Sorry for the quality as i didn't shoot with my better gear
(2) Set of pics around the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station exhibition space
(3) Pics of the guillochage machine for making the tapisserie dial and a guillocheur from Audemars Piguet
The next one will have other stuff and press info
