Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in brief

The Royal Oak was introduced in 1972 in a design by Gérald Genta and became one of the first luxury sports watches made of steel. Its octagonal bezel takes its inspiration from the portholes of old diving helmets and is fixed to the case with eight hexagonal screws.

The Grande Tapisserie dial, the bracelet integrated with the case and the sharp transition between satin and polished surfaces are the model's signature. Today it is a broad family stretching from time-only models to chronograph, perpetual calendar and skeleton versions.

Frequently asked questions

What does "Jumbo" mean?

It is the name given to the 39 mm extra-thin version of the original 1972 Royal Oak; it continues today with reference 16202.

37 mm or 41 mm?

Because it is an integrated-bracelet watch, the Royal Oak looks larger on the wrist than its case diameter. 37 mm is balanced on most wrists; 41 mm is for those who want a noticeable presence.

What is the difference between the Royal Oak and the Royal Oak Offshore?

The Offshore is a larger, thicker and sportier interpretation; it has rubber-coated pushers and mostly a chronograph function.

Which case sizes does the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak come in?

The catalog currently has case sizes of 23, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 44 mm. Our wrist size guide makes it easy to see which one fits your wrist.
