- Since its establishment in 1972, Gerald Genta's design of the Royal Oak was not only a significant turning point for Audemars Piguet's future, but 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 reference 15500ST 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, in-house cal. 4302, enhancing its performance. Notably, the new caliber provides an extended power reserve of 70 hours, surpassing its predecessor.
- The present, virtually new example, offered with an elegant yet sporty white dial, perfectly highlights its versatility with the "Tapisserie" 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.
