When the Royal Oak was launched in 1972 it took the entire watch world by surprise. Back then, branded timepieces were extravagant dressy models made from solid gold and of a rather small size. Audemars Piguet decided to change the rules and took up the special art of making timeless watches that defy conventions and everything that is regarded ordinary.

The tapisserie dial, the octagonal bezel, the masculine steel case and the integrated bracelet are just some of the things that certify the model as a magnificent timepiece.
