Audemars Piguet, "Royal Oak Automatic", Movement No. 458932, Case No. D 59311.240, Ref. 14800ST/O/0009/04, Cal. 2225, 36 x 43 mm, circa 1998
A gentleman's legendary automatic Geneva wristwatch with date - with original certificate
Case: steel, screwed on back, AP steel deployant clasp. Dial: anthracite, engine-turned "tapisserie" ("needlepoint") pattern. Movm.: rotorwind movement, Glucydur balance.
In 1972, Audemars Piguet launched the stainless steel Royal Oak model designed by Gerald Genta; its octagonal screwed bezel was inspired by the shape of a ship's porthole. The Royal Oak was actually designed as a luxury watch in a steel case, which was very novel at the time.
