Spec Ad #4 - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak - A Timeless Classic
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Launched in 1972, the Royal Oak changed the rules of luxury watchmaking forever.
Its stainless steel design and transcendental shape proved that a watch's true value lay both in its form and function.
Peerless Form
The Royal Oak's design has been copied, but its essence has never be duplicated. Its spirit lies in each detail and component working together to complete a masterpiece of a watch.
Bezel
The bezel of the Royal Oak has been admired for its simplicity and elegance. The revolutionary octagonal shape of the bezel combined with 8 hexagonal screws create a striking look that exquisitely complements the human form.
Case
The Royal Oak's case continues this theme of form and function. The 37mm stainless steel case features glare-proof sapphire crystal and an open caseback that showcases the beautiful calibre 3120 movement. Owners and watch experts have simply described the case as 'art'.
Don't let the aesthetic quality of the case mislead you, the Royal Oak is also known for its incredible comfort. It can be worn everyday or for special occasions. And the 50 meter water resistance ensures this 'daily driver' ability.
Dial
Are precious metals the defining factor in determining whether a watch is a luxury watch?
The Royal Oak answered this question in 1972 with its stainless steel body and continues to do so today. A watch gains its value from its form, function, and craftsmanship. One need only to look at the Royal Oak's dial to see the merit of world-class artistry and worksmanship.
The dial showcases a blue 'tapisserie' pattern (named for its similarity to hand-woven tapestry). It is free of imperfections and so unique that it still stands out from the rest of the competition almost 50 years after its release.
The details on the dial complete the classic look: white-gold hour markers with luminescent coating make the dial elegant and readable.
Steadfast Function
Movement
Known for its precise timekeeping, the calibre 3120 movement is an automatic self-winding movement featuring a power reserve of 60 hours. The movement itself is perfectly polished and finished by in-house experts. Diamond graved bevels are featured on its bridge, adding to its splendor. The calibre 3120 movement, with its aesthetic quality and technological merit, serves as a microcosm of the Royal Oak as a whole.
Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet is hand-finished by master polishers. The bracelet's tapering effect must be seen and felt in order to be believed. The secure AP folding clasp guarantees that the watch will sit safely on your wrist at all times.
