Audemars Piguet, "Royal Oak Automatic", Case No. D 1016, Ref. 5402ST, Cal. 2121, 38 x 48 mm, circa 1989
A gentleman's legendary automatic Geneva wristwatch with date
Case: steel, screwed on back, AP steel bracelet. Dial: anthracite, engine-turned "tapisserie" ("needlepoint") pattern. Movm.: 21k gold rotorwind movement, Gyromax 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.
