Audemars Piguet also offers women's models between 33 and 37 mm in diameter and several editions in black or white ceramic. You'll find everything from 39-mm classic two-hand versions in stainless steel and 41-mm rose gold chronographs to the 44-mm Grande Complication with a perpetual calendar, chronograph, and minute repeater. Today, there are various Royal Oak editions available in a wide range of sizes and materials. Genta also chose a then-massive size of 39 mm for the case, earning it the nickname "Jumbo." Modern models retain this iconic porthole aesthetic. A product of legendary designer Gérald Genta, the original Royal Oak came with an integrated bracelet and an octagonal bezel with eight decorative screws. In addition to the material, the design caused quite an uproar.
At the time, Audemars Piguet's choice of stainless steel for the case sent shockwaves through the industry, as people still expected luxury watches to be made of precious metals like gold or platinum. It was the world's first luxury sports watch when it debuted in 1972.
The impact of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on the world of luxury watches is unmatched in recent history.
