The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was first introduced back in 1972, designed by the legendary Gerald Genta who was inspired by a ship porthole. And soon, the octagonal screwed bezel became one of the most iconic wristwatch designs. Originally planned to be produced only in stainless steel, the brand decided to produce a small amount in precious metal, with the present white gold reference 5402BC being one of the only 149 pieces that have been manufactured.The watch is furthermore retained in very crisp condition.
