The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was first seen in 1972 and the bold look of the watch took the horology industry by surprise. The Gerald Genta design features lots of edges and a mixture of polished and brushed surfaces that results in a wonderfully elegant and unique aesthetic. Although the first batch of Royal Oaks to be produced took around 3 years to sell, the watch today is extremely desirable and almost impossible to buy directly from AP.

The model we present to you today features a stunning silver tapestry dial that pairs perfectly with the steel watch case and bracelet. The minimalist look of this watch is a classic case of less is more. The case back on this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 is transparent, allowing you to see into the heart of the watch and observe the craftsmanship of the Audemars Piguet watchmakers.

This particular Royal Oak is sold as a complete and original set, including the original box, papers and booklets. A watch register certificate and a 12-month warranty are also included.
