The Royal Oak - How Audemars Piguet Created The Perfect Luxury Watch

As many of you know, I love the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, but I didn’t always love it. In the last few years, the more I learned about its origins, the history of the brand, the story of its design, and what inspired it, I came to love and eventually own one. Why do I now consider it the perfect almost luxury watch, and what changed my perception? In seeking answers to these questions, I decided the best way was to borrow the Ref. midsize with the stunning silver “tapisserie” dial, steel case, and integrated bracelet from the WatchBox inventory. After a week on the wrist, I filmed this review, so join me to see why the Royal Oak overturned the prevailing styles in 1972 and took its rightful place as a true modern icon.
