The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is the definitive luxury sport watch. Designed by Gérald Genta in 1972, its popularity kickstarted the integrated stainless steel sport watch trend that’s taken over 21st-century watch design.
The name Royal Oak came from a historical tree in England where King Charles II hid from Cromwell’s army in 1651. That tree ended up saving King Charles’s life and became a historic political English symbol. The name was applied to no fewer than four British naval ships between 1769 and 1914, which is where this watch comes into play. The octagonal bezel was inspired by the porthole of a naval ship, hence the name Royal Oak.
The original Jumbo ref. 5402 was introduced in 1972. In 1977, it was available for the first time in precious materials: yellow gold, white gold and two-tone.
The Royal Oak 5402 is powered by the ultra-thin AP calibre 2121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary ultra-thin calibre JLC 920.
In 1875, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward August Piguet established the first workshop in Le Brassus. Still owned by the founding family, the prestigious brand is renowned for its “grand complications” such as the minute repeater. In 1972, its destiny changed forever with the birth of the Royal Oak, a luxury sports watch in steel, a revolutionary concept with a disruptive design by the legendary Gérald Genta. Today this model is still the brand’s standard bearer with a complete collection of Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore models.
