Karl Lagerfeld’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 5402ST

Phillips catalogued this black-finished early Royal Oak as the “Karl Lagerfeld” example, connecting its distinctive appearance with the fashion designer’s ownership. It sold at The Royal Oak 50th auction on 6 May 2022 for CHF 937,500. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Phillips source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
