Launched in 1972, the Royal Oak reference 5402 was the world’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch with a fully integrated bracelet. Designed overnight in response to an urgent request for an “unprecedented steel watch,” it was at the same time the most expensive stainless steel watch ever made. Today the Royal Oak is a legend, accounting for over 70 percent of the brand’s sales. Audemars Piguet worked with famed designer Gerald Genta, who developed a brilliantly engineered, monobloc case, with a distinctively maritime feel, featuring an octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal, white gold screws, and a dial with a tapisserie motif. The present example is a modern representative of this landmark wristwatch in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the model. The reference 15510ST “Self-Winding 50th Anniversary” was released in 2022 featuring a 41mm diameter case and houses the brand’s automatic caliber 4302. The caliber 4302 was released in 2019 as the upgraded successor of the caliber 3120 – Audemars Piguet’s first in-house automatic movement, originally introduced in 2005. The line includes a variety of Grande Tapisserie dial types from blue (01), black (02), silver (03), gray (05) and like the present wristwatch, a very attractive khaki green (04). The special rotor is engraved “50 Years”, in production for one year only in 2022. The present watch is in nearly new overall condition and has likely been worn less than a handful of times. The watch is accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, warranty card, and presentation box. Offered by the original owner, this is an opportunity to own one of the most iconic and sought after timepieces in the market. CONSIGNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER
