Details
Description
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Reference 56023ST is a coveted vintage model often nicknamed the “Jumbo Quartz.” Introduced in the early 1980s (circa 1982–1983), it marked a pivotal moment in the Royal Oak’s evolution as the first quartz powered mid-sized version of the iconic design. Distinguished by its ultra-thin profile, stainless steel case, and the signature octagonal bezel with exposed screws, the 56023ST combined cutting edge quartz technology with Gérald Genta’s timeless aesthetic. Today, it stands out as a rare and historically significant piece, embodying both the experimentation of the Quartz Crisis era and the enduring appeal of the Royal Oak.
