Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ref. 25654BA - Satin Champagne Dial Full Set
type: Product
description: It’s not unfair to say that Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is one of the most iconic watches ever made. Designed in 1972 by Gerald Genta, the Royal Oak completely changed the way that we look at a steel sports watch. For the first time, stainless steel was treated as a precious metal - receiving complex finishing techniques of brushing, polishing, and beveling - all by hand.
