After the introduction of the original Royal Oak, the reference 5402 in 1972, Audemars Piguet started to experiment with both the size of the Royal Oak and the materials used to make it. In 1992, Audemars Piguet released a slightly scaled-down Royal Oak Ref 14790 with a diameter of 36mm. Unlike some rescaling of the iconic designs, the original Royal Oak’s aesthetic was faithfully preserved in its new case size and remained in production until the turn of the millennium. Furthermore, many collectors tend to favor this reference for its unparalleled comfort on the wrist.
The 14790 is divided into three series. The first two series have the small tapisserie dial, the Mk 1 with straight font Audemars Piguet signature and the MK 2 with the capitalised "A" and "P". The last series is defined by the grande tapisserie dial.
This lot is an attractive example of the second series, combining a more modernist AP signature while staying faithful to the original aesthetic codes with the small tapisserie dial.
