1972: The birth of the Royal Oak

Designer Gérald Genta created this automatic watch, which caused a sensation when it was unveiled: The octagonal watch in stainless steel – instead of gold – was extremely thin and stood out thanks to an unusual mix of satin-finished and polished surfaces. Critics gave it little chance, especially as it was priced in the high-end segment. Yet the Royal Oak won people over across the board and became a true classic. For more than five decades, Audemars Piguet has nurtured its flagship and consistently developed it further – today the collection ranges from purist automatic watches to ultra-sporty chronographs in carbon.

Popular Royal Oak lines at HORANDO

Royal Oak Chronograph

The Royal Oak Chronograph combines the iconic Genta design with a sporty stopwatch function – a classic for collectors and everyday wear.

Royal Oak Offshore

The Royal Oak Offshore is the bold, larger interpretation of the icon – the sporty counterpart to the classic line since 1993.

Royal Oak in gold

The Royal Oak in gold – in rose, yellow or white gold – gives the sports watch icon its most refined appearance.

From the classic to the Grande Complication

A striking feature is the octagonal bezel, held to the case by distinctive screws. The dial features a fine "Tapisserie" waffle pattern, the baton indices match the respective case colour, and there is a date window at 3 o'clock. The Royal Oak is available in numerous versions: From the stainless steel classic to the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar and the Royal Oak Tourbillon – surpassed only by the Grande Complication, the most exclusive model in the collection. Straps and bracelets are available in metal, crocodile leather or rubber.
