Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a groundbreaking luxury sports watch introduced in 1972 and designed by Gérald Genta. Defined by its octagonal bezel, exposed hexagonal screws and 'Tapisserie' dial, it was the first high-end sports watch crafted in stainless steel, changing the course of watchmaking history.

Royal Oak prices depend on the reference, case material (steel, gold, titanium), complication and condition. Due to limited production and strong collector demand, steel selfwinding and chronograph models in particular hold a strong position on the secondary market.

The Royal Oak family includes selfwinding, chronograph, perpetual calendar and more complicated versions. The octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, Tapisserie dial pattern and finely finished movement are its defining features. It is offered in different case sizes and material options.
