Audemars Piguet's introduction of the Royal Oak marked the beginning of the luxury sports watch market we know today. Launched in 1972 at Basel Fair, it caused an immediate sensation as the watch industry had never seen anything comparable before. It was at the time the most expensive steel wristwatch available. It most notably housed the extra slim caliber 2121, which would later be found in the Nautilus wristwatch. Today, the Royal Oak remains as iconic as ever, with early examples being exceedingly popular and collectible.
Known as the "A Series", the present watch is among the first batch of Royal Oaks ever produced. It is most notably distinguished by its original condition, which is remarkable as many existing examples now have service parts. The "Swiss" signed dial has taken a "tropical" appearance over time, and the hands and markers have aged with warm patina. The bracelet with the "flat clasp" is original, as is the smooth unsigned crown, which is correct for the period.
