Notes
On the eve of the 1972 Swiss Watch
Show, known today as Baselworld,
Audemars Piguet gave Genta
a task to create a luxury sports watch.
Genta presented the idea and the Royal
Oak became a success. The watch was
different from others on the market; made
of stainless steel and an integrated bracelet
with a round dial within an octagon bezel
with 8 screws set inside a tonneau-shaped
case. This interesting design has become
one of the most iconic watches and still
one of the most highly sought-after pieces.
This Luxury Vintage Audemars Piguet reference 66270ST shows an interesting and appreciated tropical dial.
one of the most highly sought-after pieces.
