Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak - Pioneer of the modern age
When it first appeared in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
with all conventions. Until then, luxury timepieces were mostly delicate, small and made of gold. The Royal Oak fundamentally and permanently changed the idea of a modern and contemporary sports watch. With the stainless steel material and the previously unseen design, it opened the way for a completely new style. Today, the luxurious sports watch is an icon from the Audemars Piguet company.
Unique in appearance
The special thing about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is first and foremost its avant-garde appearance. Its case made of cool stainless steel, the octagonal bezel, the "tapisserie" dial and the integrated bracelet not only turned the rules on their head. Over the past 40 years, they have become the trademark of the Audemars Piguet watch manufacturer. The revolutionary design of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak needed time to establish itself and become a bestseller. Today, numerous celebrities are among the wearers of Audemars Piguet's masterpieces. With the Royal Oak, the manufacturer also finally became a permanent part of the international circle of successful manufacturers of luxury watches.
Innovative in optics
One of the most striking features of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak are the screws on the octagonal bezel. They are made of white gold and fully functional. The slot at the screw head is always placed in the tangent. The seals required for water resistance are deliberately visible. The dial has become an unmistakable attribute of the innovative watch. It is guilloched with the "Grande Tapisserie" or "Petite Tapisserie" motif.
Even today it looks incredibly modern
Today, the Audemars Piguet Royal collection includes a large number of different and extremely impressive watches. The variants range from the classic with the 39 mm stainless steel case to the flat models with tourbillon to the perpetual calendars and the eye-catching Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon in ceramic and titanium.
