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 manufacture 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. This new case size allowed Audemars Piguet to experiment with some new dial and case designs, including the Yves Klein blue and Ferrari red dial colors, as well as introducing a number of case materials previously not used.
The present watch offers the legendary Royal Oak design with its anthracite tapestry dial in full yellow gold case and bracelet. Thanks to its size and well-balanced proportions, it sits perfectly on a much broader variety of wrists.
