Following the success of the groundbreaking Royal Oak reference 5402, Audemars Piguet introduced precious metal and two-tone variations in 1977, further expanding Gérald Genta's revolutionary design. Combining stainless steel and yellow gold, the present example retains all the hallmarks that made the Royal Oak an icon: the distinctive octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, and signature Petite Tapisserie dial. The harmonious interplay between steel, gold, and dial creates an unmistakably vintage aesthetic while preserving the bold, sporty character that transformed the luxury watch industry.
Presented in attractive overall condition, the watch benefits from a full service carried out by Audemars Piguet in November 2023, while the hands were replaced by the manufacture in 2024. An enduring symbol of 20th-century watch design, this Royal Oak offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a highly desirable example of one of the most influential wristwatches ever created.
