Since its groundbreaking debut in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has stood as a beacon of innovation, redefining the concept of luxury steel sports watches. Designed by the visionary Gerald Genta, it introduced an iconic octagonal bezel, inspired by a diver’s helmet, and set the stage for a new era in watchmaking. In 2019, the Royal Oak continued its evolutionary journey with the introduction of the Reference 15 500, succeeding the Reference 15 400. This modern classic features a sleek 41 mm case housing the new in-house caliber 4302. Notably, the updated movement extends the power reserve to an impressive 70 hours, enhancing the practicality of this timepiece for everyday wear. The 15500OR presented here elevates the Royal Oak legacy with a case crafted in precious pink gold. The iconic octagonal-shaped bezel, fastened with 8 hex-shaped solid gold screws, exhibits a finely brushed finish on the front and a polished beveled edge, creating a harmonious balance between simplicity and sophistication. The signature “grande tapisserie” dial pattern in black adds an element of timeless elegance, featuring applied 18 kt rose gold luminous index hour markers and matching baton-shaped hands with luminous fills. Positioned at 3 o’clock, the date aperture seamlessly integrates into the dial, while the outer extremity hosts a white-printed seconds track, adding a touch of sporty flair. The hexagon-shaped crown, meticulously crafted in 18 kt rose gold, bears the engraved AP logo on its brushed finish top, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to detail. This 15500OR comes complete with its original green box, booklets, and card warranty, underscoring its status not just as a watch but as a timeless modern classic that effortlessly blends style and substance.
