The Royal Oak invented the luxury steel sports watch in 1972: Gerald Genta’s octagonal bezel, eight hexagonal screws and the Tapisserie dial that saved Audemars Piguet. Every integrated bracelet watch since exists in its shadow.

The collection

Royal Oak

The 1972 steel sports watch that set the template for the integrated bracelet

The Royal Oak arrived in 1972, widely credited as the first luxury sports watch in steel, drawn by Gérald Genta around an octagonal bezel held down by eight visible screws. Everything else follows from that: the bracelet integrated into the case and tapering to the clasp, the Tapisserie dial on most references, the hand-finished play of brushed tops against polished bevels. The line now runs from simple time and date up to perpetual calendars and open-worked pieces.
