SUMMARY

With a steady rise in the popularity of smaller watches, AP’s more diminutive Royal Oak references have piqued the interest of collectors, including the mechanically-driven reference 15000ST. Despite its 33mm case size, the watch has plenty of wrist presence thanks to its angular shape and integrated bracelet. The watchmaker’s attention to detail is displayed through the sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces and the ‘tapisserie’ finish on the dial, which has become emblematic of the Royal Oak’s design. Internally, the watch is powered by the automatic calibre 2140, which is equipped with a 40-hour power reserve
