Notes

In 1972, Audemars Piguet introduced the “Royal Oak” wristwatch with a first batch of 1 000 pieces, called “Série A” due to the letter “A” engraved on their case-backs. Two years later, additional series were produced under the Ref. 5204 with the letter “B”, “C” and “D”.
The A-series “Royal Oak” is powered by the ultra-thin AP calibre 2121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary ultra-thin JLC 920 movement.
Designed by the brilliant Gérald Genta (1931-2011), this timepiece bears witness to the 1970s and the emergence of the notion of the sport-luxury watch.

In 2022, the owner decided to have the watch completely overhauled at the manufacture (approximately 13'000 euros were spent) and at which point they provided the certificate of authenticity, a newly vintage inspired Royal Oak box, and crown, dial and hands changed now known as "Classic parts".
