Crafted by Audemars Piguet, the Royal Oak 41 Ref. 15400ST.OO.1220ST.01 epitomizes watchmaking artistry. A brainchild of Gérald Genta in 1972, the Royal Oak broke barriers as the inaugural luxury steel wristwatch. Resting in a 41mm case, its design is an icon of sophistication and enduring appeal. The octagonal bezel, adorned with eight screws, evokes the Royal Oak's distinct identity. The grey "Grand Tapisserie" patterned dial, embellished with white gold applied hour markers and luminescent hands, epitomizes both aesthetics and readability. The unveiling of an in-house dial and a faceted white gold double baton marker at 12 o'clock enhance its allure. The automatic Caliber 3120 movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, showcases meticulous craftsmanship. Complemented by a stainless steel bracelet with a folding AP-engraved clasp, this timepiece combines finesse, precision, and enduring design.
