Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 33mm Ref. 56175TR? A: It’s a vintage Royal Oak with a 33mm case featuring a rare two‑tone construction in tantalum and rose gold (the “TR” suffix denotes Tantalum/Rose Gold). It has a grey brushed dial, a Swiss quartz movement, and an integrated tantalum/rose gold bracelet with a deployant clasp—an elegant, mid‑size take on Gérald Genta’s iconic design.
Q: What movement does it use and how long does the battery last? A: The watch uses a Swiss quartz movement. Typical silver‑oxide button cells last around 2–3 years. Many similar AP quartz models use common cells such as 377/SR626SW or 371/SR920SW, but the exact battery can vary—please have a professional watchmaker confirm and replace to protect the seals and movement.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: Vintage water resistance is not guaranteed. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant unless the gaskets have been replaced and the watch has been pressure‑tested recently. Avoid swimming, showering, or submersion. Always ensure the crown is fully secured before any exposure to moisture.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz Royal Oak? A: Gently pull the crown out one click and turn to set the time, then push it back in to restart the movement. If your specific example has a date window, avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. If you’d like detailed guidance for this exact reference, contact us and we’ll assist.
Q: Will the 33mm size suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: 33mm offers a refined, mid‑size profile that suits many small to medium wrists. While historically marketed towards men in some configurations, it wears beautifully unisex today. The bracelet is currently sized to approximately 17.5cm; we can advise on fit and sizing for your wrist.
Q: Can the integrated bracelet be resized or swapped for a strap? A: Yes, the bracelet can be sized by adding/removing links. Extra links can often be sourced subject to availability and may incur a fee. The Royal Oak uses an integrated bracelet, so strap swaps are not straightforward; conversion options exist, but we recommend retaining the original bracelet for authenticity and proper fit.
Q: What’s special about tantalum, and how should I care for the case/bracelet? A: Tantalum is a dense, bluish‑grey metal known for its corrosion resistance, weighty feel, and hypoallergenic properties. It can develop a subtle patina over time. Clean with a soft microfibre cloth; for deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasives, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. For rose gold sections, use a gentle cloth and avoid polishing unless done by an authorised specialist.
Q: Has this watch been serviced and what’s included with the sale? A: Yes—this is a serviced watch and is delivered with the Official Service Box and Service Card, plus an AP bag. Condition is Very Good with light scratches on the sides and bracelet. A Retro Tale provides a 12‑month guarantee on the timekeeping mechanism for added peace of mind.
Q: How can I verify authenticity and reference details? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally authenticates every item. This piece is Swiss‑made and carries the reference 56175TR with serial No 6XX. We’re happy to share additional photos and details, and the included service documentation offers further reassurance.
Q: Can you confirm the production year or provide more technical specifics? A: Production years for this reference vary by serial. If you’d like us to pinpoint the era and confirm technical specifics (e.g., crystal type or exact calibre), contact us—our team can investigate using serial data, period documentation, and specialist resources.
