The audemars piguet royal oak was the world s first luxury sports watch. Its powerful look ushered in a revolutionary avant garde style that has since become its trademark.

In the early 1970s luxury watches were still being made exclusively out of precious metals such as gold and platinum. When audemars piguet unveiled the royal oak in 1972 luxury timepieces were usually small and made of gold but the brand broke these rules forever defying with conventions with this first luxury sports timepiece honed from steel. Audemars piguet s signature tapisserie design has evolved into a splendid sunburst evolutive pattern. Here it is on a classic blue dial with the tourbillon taking pride of place seen for the first time on this 18 carat pink gold watch.
