Catalogue Essay
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a watch that has enjoyed much fame and following since its initial launch in the early 1970’s. It was the first stainless steel luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet designed by no one else other than Gerald Genta. The launch was somewhat of a revolution, with many others who followed suit, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.

The present example is a ref. 15202ST fitted with the rare blue dial available only in Audemars Piguet boutiques. Fitted with the cal. 2121, it was the thinnest self-winding caliber since the start of its era with a Jaeger-LeCoultre ebauche. This is a watch that is most definitely popular and in high demand from collectors and the market. Further adding to the attraction, it is complete with the full set of accessories that came with the watch when it was purchased by the original owner.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
