Originally introduced in 1972 and designed by Gerald Genta, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stands as the first luxury sports watch to be constructed from stainless steel; the Royal Oak collection has achieved iconic status and is now considered to be Audemars Piguet’s flagship model. The watches have unique aesthetic appeal, thanks to their unmistakable octagonal bezels, while the dials each feature a trademark “tapisserie” pattern, adding to the pure visual appeal. Today, many variants of the watch are available, with their own unique features. These models include the Royal Oak Chronograph, which offers three different counters, as well as date display, and is water resistant for up to 50 meters.
An exceptional reinterpretation of the rainbow
Audemars Piguet introduces two sets of 10 Royal Oak Selfwinding watches in 37 mm and 41 mm. Each illuminated with some 800 baguette-cut coloured stones, all meticulously selected and custom-cut to offer intense and pure colours.
An array of flamboyant gemstones
Emeralds, tanzanites, yellow chrysoberyls, pink tourmalines, amethysts, blue topaz, orange spessartites, sapphires, rubies, or tsavorites. Each timepiece of the new Royal Oak Rainbow sets tells its own story linked to the unique property, colour and symbolism of its dedicated gemstone.
