Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, 50th Anniversary
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, 50th Anniversary
“As a 50th anniversary model, the 15510 is hugely collectible, and with the archetypal Royal Oak colour scheme of blue dial and steel, this is where history meets modernity.”
Inspired by a traditional diver’s helmet, Gérald Genta’s 1972 masterpiece - the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak - is the original luxury sports watch. This 50th anniversary model, the 15510ST, stays true to Genta’s original lines and styling, but “encompasses the collection’s refined and ergonomic design evolution,” in the words of the brand themselves. At 41mm, the updated, modern-sized case enables the date window to return to its original position of 1972, together with the double hash at 12 o’clock, which also roots the watch in history. This 15510 features white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands, on a deep, mysterious blue Grande Tapisserie dial which is cut using a 100-year-old pantograph, a technique unique to Audemars Piguet. This ensures different tones depending on angle, in keeping with its immaculate satin brushed case and integrated bracelet, unrivalled in the way they play with light and shadow. The AP signature double deployant clasp ensures superlative comfort, and as a final flourish, the sapphire display caseback offers the wearer a view of the stunning in-house cal.4302 movement, complete with ornate 22k gold ‘50th Anniversary’ rotor. A dynamic and historic timepiece.
