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.
