The Royal Oak was designed by the late Gerald Genta in 1972 and was inspired by a naval porthole. This industrial approach with its angular design and visible octagonal screws on the bezel, has since become synonymous with Audemars Piguet.
The Royal Oak was initially exclusively made from stainless steel and became the first high-end luxury watch crafted from a non-precious metal. This was considered as a risky move during the Quartz crisis. Later on, Audemars Piguet started producing the Royal Oak in a variety of precious metals. Throughout the years, various versions have been introduced with the attractive present example from 2006 made in pink gold is perfectly complemented by the black tapestry dial and strap. This Royal Oak is preserved in superb condition and is accompanied by all its original accessories.
