We are still fascinated with this mid-size execution of the Gérald Genta design, the overall condition of this example is fantastic.

At 36 mm this Royal Oak is more wearable than the ‘Jumbo’, but due to its 8mm thickness it still has a civilized wrist presence, and that’s what we strive for.

The Royal Oak has the recognisable octagonal bezel, case and stainless steel integrated bracelet. This example is perfectly finished, as you can see at the macro-pictures.

The beautiful modern ‘enlarged tapisserie’ with the original dark blue dial is the most sought after in the shorter index series. The understated blue tapisserie plays a fantastic game with the light, it repeatedly provides hours of viewing pleasure.

This watch, is a late version of the third E-series of ref. 14790ST, recognisable by the fantastic dark Blue dial, the window around the date at 3 o’clock and the modern “Audemars Piguet” font on the dial and the capitalised A and P logo.

This Royal Oak had a full service in February 2026, ensuring automatic calibre 2225 is in perfect running condition. The case and integrated bracelet are in equally great condition, showing only small sings of previous ownership. The folding clasp constructed with the stretched AP logo is a real functional piece of art.

Of course this Royal Oak comes as a complete set with the Audemars Piguet box and the Paperwork ‘Extract from the Archives’.

You can wear it from corporate meeting to the cocktail party, it’s got so much versatility. It suits those who like to stay under the radar without compromising on ‘high end’ collecting timepieces.
