WHY WE LOVE IT One name: Gerald Genta.  The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is perhaps Genta’s most memorable work, and in many ways changed the shape of the watch industry. The Royal Oak essentially created an entirely new category of 'luxury sport' timepieces, and with it came a new design language which inspired countless other manufactures. What's particularly delightful about the design of the Royal Oak is that it works brilliantly in a number of sizes and casing materials, from steel to carbon fiber or solid gold. This particular model, a Reference 14790ST, features a 36mm stainless steel case, a stunning second series grey micro-tapisserie dial with applied Tritium baton indices and matching handset, a fantastic matching integrated stainless steel bracelet with s signed deployant clasp, and Audemars Piguet's Calibre 2225 automatic-winding movement. Try it on the wrist once, and you'll have a tough time taking it off - don't say we didn't warn you! OVERALL CONDITION The case and bracelet are in excellent condition overall showing signs of light professional refinishing and faint wear from gentle use. Grey 'micro-tapisserie' Tritium dial is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. Signed crown.
