According to the Archives of Audemars Piguet, the present watch was sold in Singapore in 1978.
Launched in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was the world’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch with a fully integrated bracelet. Designed overnight in response to an urgent request for an ‘unprecedented steel watch’, it was at the same time the most expensive stainless steel watch ever made. The brand sought famed designer Gerald Genta, who developed a brilliantly engineered, monoblock case, with a distinctively maritime feel, featuring an octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal, white gold screws, and a dial with tapisserie motif. While today the Royal Oak is a legend, accounting for over 70% of the brand’s sales, at the beginning it was more than a bet, it was a true visionary revolution, the first appearance of what is today's most successful kind of wristwatch: the luxury sport watch in steel.
The present specimen is a representative of the C series, and is distinguished by its superior overall condition. Most notably, the case presents very sharp facets and edges, maintaining unadulterated all of its original details. An intriguing detail is found on the bracelet endlinks, which feature the AP logo, a quirk found only on few examples of the model.
