ABOUT THIS WATCH

• A landmark piece, the Gérald Genta-penned Audemars Piguet Royal Oak shook the world of luxury watches with its revolutionary all-stainless steel construction and groundbreaking design when released in 1972
• Its then-pioneering design included the ‘porthole’ bezel, integrated bracelet, and ‘tapisserie’ dial - all of which have contributed to the watch’s iconic status earned over the last five decades
• ​Following its debut, the Royal Oak has undergone several evolutions and is now available in a wide variety of materials and sizes
• This 2022 all-stainless steel reference measures 41mm across - a size more-aligned with contemporary tastes - and beneath its sapphire front crystal lies a blue ‘Grande Tapisserie’ finish with white gold applied baton hour markers and the watch’s distinctive ‘Royal Oak’ hands
• Audemars Piguet’s celebrated attention to detail is fully displayed thanks to the sharp transitions between the brushed and polished surfaces of the watch’s case and bracelet
• Powering the watch is the calibre 4302, an automatic movement finished with a solid gold centre rotor, and offering a 70-hour power reserve
