Launched in 1972, the Royal Oak revolutionized luxury sports watchmaking thanks to Gérald Genta’s iconic design: the octagonal case, exposed screws, and integrated bracelet made it a true icon of modern watchmaking.

The piece presented here belongs to the “City of Sail” limited edition, a special series celebrating the connection between Audemars Piguet, the sailing world, and the Alinghi team. Made in steel and paired with a rubber strap with deployant clasp, this chronograph features an even sportier aesthetic compared to traditional configurations, while maintaining the meticulous attention to detail typical of the manufacture, evident also in the finely engraved case back.
