Catalogue Essay
- Since it debuted in 1972, the Royal Oak has been modified aesthetically with added complications. However, its early variants all share a similarity other than their name—their movements were outsourced. At the beginning of the millennium, the manufacturer introduced the now discontinued ref. 15300. This was the genesis of its line of Royal Oaks that carries its famed in-house movement, calibre 3120, featuring a 60-hour power reserve and a full balance with a free-sprung index, plus hacking seconds and a quick-set date.

- Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the ref. 15450ST appeared as a mid-sized 37mm option in the Audemars Piguet catalogue in 2012. This three-handed timepiece is a Royal Oak through and through. Incorporating its core aesthetical DNA, it features the iconic multi-finished stainless steel case and bracelet, matched with a blue texturised dial.

- Boasting a beautiful blue dial with matching date wheel, the present example is preserved in an “like-new” overall condition retaining its stickers on the inner bracelet and clasp. When worn on the wrist, there is no question as to why the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is considered a holy grail for many watch aficionados. With a substantial wrist presence, the now discontinued ref. 15450ST is the quintessence of luxury sports watches while also sporting the craftsmanship of high-end Swiss watchmaking.

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.
