Introduced in 1972 and designed by Gerald Genta, one of watchmaking's most renowned designers, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak made history as the first stainless steel luxury sports watch. Its release was a strategic move to navigate through the quartz crisis, and the Royal Oak's remarkable success is often credited with ensuring Audemars Piguet's survival to this🐲 day.
Since its debut, the Roya🃏l Oak has become the cornerst♋one of Audemars Piguet's collections, establishing itself as one of the most significant timepieces offered by the Le Brassus-based manufacturer. Over time, it has evolved into one of the most coveted watches on the market. In 2012, Audemars Piguet introduced the refs. 15400 (41mm) and 15450 (37mm), offering various case materials and dial colors. Discontinued in 2019, these models are highly sought after, particularly those with a blue dial.
