Pre-Owned Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 40990910/AS06522

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

One name: Gerald Genta.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is perhaps Genta’s most memorable work, and in many ways changed the shape of the watch industry.

The Royal Oak essentially created an entirely category of 'luxury sport' timepieces, and with it came a new design language which inspired countless other manufactures. What's particularly delightful about the design of the Royal Oak is that it works brilliantly in a number of sizes and casing materials, from steel to carbon fiber or rose gold.

This particular model, a Reference 56303SA, features a 33mm yellow gold and stainless steel construction, a champagne micro-tapisserie Tritium dial with applied 'baton' indices, and a date function at 3:00. Wearing a bit larger than its measurements would lead you to believe, this watch offers an exceptional value if you are looking for a more understated alternative compared to its larger siblings - even with its two tone 18k yellow gold and steel construction.

Try it on the wrist once, and you'll have a tough time taking it off - don't say we didn't warn you!
