  • Catalogue Essay

    Designed by the great Gerald Genta and executed by Audemars Piguet in 1972, the Royal Oak was the industry’s first luxury sports wristwatch in stainless steel with an integrated bracelet commanding the price of a gold wristwatch. Inspired by the porthole of a ship, the iconic octagonal case with naked screws set on the bezel is with no doubt a revelation to the watch industry amidst the quartz crisis.

    Since its initial launch, the Royal Oak has become the most important collection of timepieces offered by the Le Brassus based manufacturer, and in recent times it has become one of the most sought after timepieces in the market. In 2012, Audemars Piguet launched the refs. 15400 (41mm) and 15450 (37mm) with various case materials and dial colors. Extremely sought after in the market, it is rare to come across an example at the boutique, especially with a blue dial.

    The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 15400ST fitted with a blue dial is offered in excellent overall condition accompanied by its full set of accessories.
