Notes
Brought to life by Gerald Genta in 1972, the design of the Royal Oak meets a growing success nowadays and is considered as one of the most important icon in the modern watchmaking history. Introduced in 1996 the ref. 25686 is very rare : out of the 233 pieces ever made only 70 exist in yellow gold, and even less with a white dial. This reference succeeded the ref. 25654 and is known for the wide variety of dial such as mother of pearl, “Tuscan” or champagne dial.
