The bold, distinctive design of the Royal Oak has made it the trademark model of the Audemars Piguet product range - the watch is considered a true legend among luxury sports watches all over the world and is without doubt a must-have for any watch enthusiast.
On the wrist, this Royal Oak with full calendar and moon phase has much the same charismatic appeal as other Royal Oaks. The watch incorporates all the elements that made the Royal Oak the legend it is today: The screwed-in, octagonal bezel with chamfered and polished edges designed by Gerald Genta and the integrated bracelet.
The present watch is in well looked after condition. Both the case and the dial are original and untouched. Due to its age the case has slight surface scratches. The gold accents of the sub dials and the blue moon phase disc create a pleasing contrast to the cool silvery lustre of the dial andlend the watch a very distinctive look.
