Description
Here is a vintage 1970's second series Royal Oak Jumbo designed by the deceased Gerald Genta. Mr. Genta also designed the Patek Philippe Nautilus and other legendary luxury sport watches, but the Royal Oak was his first spectacular success and was the first luxurious sports watch. This watch is number 66X, placing it among early production Royal Oak watches.

It’s the octagonal bezel that defines the Royal Oak, with its exposed and functional white gold screws. This case is solid 18k gold and stainless steel and measures 39.5mm wide by 47.5mm long by 7.4mm thick. Crystal is sapphire. The white gold screws reappear in the case back, and are the structural anchor of this case.

Original untouched anthracite grey dial with Clous de Paris engraving' applied AP at 12 o'clock, applied hour markers, golden baton hands and date at 3 o’clock.

Movement is the automatic winding Audemars Piguet Caliber 2121 with 36 jewels, balance adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and in 5 positions and with 21k gold winding rotor.

The Royal Oak's design also features a first: the integral bracelet which tapers toward the clasp. Clasp has a fold-over safety lock.
