The House of Audemars Piguet produced its most iconic timepiece, the Royal Oak in 1970. According to its designer, the legendary Gerald Genta, once the design came to him, it only took one night to create the original sketch of the design. The inspiration for the iconic design came from a vintage diving helmet that had exposed screws.
The Royal Oak was revolutionary in the sense that it focused the attention of watch collectors on the watchmaking itself and not on the precious metal being used.
This wristwatch is an 18kt rose gold model with a case that measured 41mm with a thickness of 10.4mm and features 50m/150ft of water resistance.
The iconic octagonal-shaped bezel is fastened to the case with 8 hex-shaped solid gold screws. The bezel is finished with a finely brushed finish on the front and has a polished beveled edge that runs up to the side of the bezel that has another finely brushed finish.
As with all Royal Oaks, you will find the signature grande tapisserie dial pattern enchanting. The dial features applied 18kt rose gold luminous index hour markers and matching baton-shaped hands with luminous fills. The date aperture is located at the 3 o’clock position and on the very outer extreme of the dial is a second’s track printed in white. The hexagon-shaped crown is crafted of 18kt rose gold and uses a brushed finish with the AP logo engraved on the top of the winding crown.
The exhibition case back uses a transparent sapphire crystal to display the beating heart within the solid gold case, the manufacture AP caliber 4302.
This in-house caliber is a self-winding (automatic) movement that oscillates at a steady 28,800 vibrations per hour or 4Hz and is comprised of 257 components. This 32-jewel movement has an estimated power reserve of 70 hours and features a solid rose gold winding rotor that has a fine brushed finish and is branded with a skeletonized AP monogram and engraved logo. The plates and components of this movement are exquisitely finished with Côtes de Genève striping with a polished beveled edge.
This watch is fastened to the wrist with a black alligator leather strap using an 18kt rose gold deployant (folding) buckle. The reverse side of the strap uses a soft beige calfskin leather with black stitching. A model is also available with a solid rose gold bracelet as well with the reference number 15500or.oo.1220or.01.
