Audemars Piguet 56175TR Royal Oak Tantalum 1980s

Audemars Piguet Ref. 56175TR – Tantalum & Rose Gold Royal Oak Elegance

The Audemars Piguet 56175TR is a fascinating blend of materials, combining tantalum and rose gold in a way that perfectly reflects the industrial yet luxurious DNA of the Royal Oak era. The cool grey tone of tantalum contrasts beautifully with the warm glow of rose gold, creating a striking visual and tactile experience.

This example features a 33 mm tantalum case with rose gold bezel and accents, paired with a slate grey vertically brushed “Dacron” dial highlighted by rose gold details, a burgundy Audemars Piguet signature, and matching chapter ring.

Fitted with the original tantalum/rose gold Royal Oak bracelet by GTF (formerly Lascor), this watch represents a rare and collectible chapter of late-1980s Audemars Piguet experimentation with noble metals and avant-garde materials.
