Catalogue Essay
- Since its establishment in 1972, Gerald Genta's design of the Royal Oak has not only been a significant turning point for Audemars Piguet's future, but it has also revolutionized the concept of luxury sports watches. Serving as a blank canvas, the Royal Oak collection has evolved over the years to accommodate the preferences of collectors worldwide, offering a range of complications and case sizes.

- The 15500ST generation is a direct successor to the original iteration of the Royal Oak. Introduced in 2019 as the fourth generation, this timepiece boasts a larger and thicker 41mm case, which gives it a more prominent presence on the wrist. Furthermore, it is equipped with the upgraded cal. 4302, enhancing its performance. Notably, the new calibre provides an extended power reserve of 70 hours, surpassing its predecessor.

- Their exquisite grey dials, each model with its special hue, are meticulously crafted in the Audemars Piguet factory. The grey of this present example is subtle and elegant, perfectly complementing the "Tappisserie" textured dial and the brushed-finished case. As a highly sought-after and iconic gem, it can effortlessly transition from formal to casual settings, making it an ideal companion for any occasion.

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.
