SwissWatchExpo ARCHIVE - RECENTLY SOLD

In 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection redefined watch design with its distinct features. Introduced as Audemars Piguet’s response to the Quartz Revolution, the Royal Oak broke the mold by using stainless steel instead of traditional precious metals, and introducing a unique octagonal case, pioneering a new category of watches - the steel luxury sports watch. Today, the Royal Oak continues to be highly coveted for its bold design and technical excellence.

Fusing traditional Swiss craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, Royal Oak watches are available in various materials such as stainless steel, gold, titanium, platinum, and ceramic, catering to diverse preferences for both durable everyday wear and refined elegance. Notable models in the collection include the robust and sporty Royal Oak Offshore, the precise timekeeping and functional Royal Oak Chronograph, and the highly intricate Royal Oak Tourbillon.

The collection has evolved with the introduction of new metals, finishes, precious stones, complications, and technological advancements.

Fifty years since it rocked the watch industry, the appeal of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is stronger than ever. To this day, the company continues to improve on their iconic creation with regular upgrades and compelling new variations, all while keeping the classic design of the Royal Oak alive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Royal Oak Watch?

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is the most famous creation of the Swiss manufacturer. It was the world's first steel luxury sports watch when it debuted in 1972. In addition to the material, the design caused quite an uproar. Created by renowned watch designer Gérald Genta, the original Royal Oak came with an integrated bracelet and porthole-inspired octagonal bezel with eight decorative screws.

Modern models retain these classic characteristics, even as the line expanded to include precious metal and complicated designs.

Do AP Royal Oak Watches Hold Their Value?

Audemars Piguet belongs to the “Holy Trinity” of watch manufactures, alongside Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. These 3 companies have been at the forefront of watchmaking and set the standard for design and craftsmanship.

Aside from their inherent prestige, Audemars Piguet produces about 50,000 watches per year (as of 2022), which is a small number compared to other watch brands that produce more than a million units annually.

What Is The Difference Between Royal Oak And Royal Oak Offshore?

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was introduced in 1972, after which it became the first steel luxury sports watch.

By 1993, the company decided on creating a more masculine and sportier version of the classic Royal Oak to attract younger audiences and sport enthusiasts – the result was the Royal Oak Offshore.

Both the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore possess a porthole-shaped case and geometric design. The Royal Oak has thinner profile, with the cases for men’s watches ranging from 39 – 44mm, while the Royal Oak Offshore range from 42 – 45mm.

Their chronograph versions also differ – the Royal Oak Chronograph sports a 3-6-9 layout, while the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph offers both standard and vertical versions.
