“The proportions and layout of The Owl’s dial are in perfect harmony, which is perhaps why its value continues to grow year on year.”

The original luxury sports watch, Gérald Genta’s Royal Oak holds legendary status on its 50th anniversary, and this ref. 25594ST features the classic elements that have given the design such iconic stature, including the Tapisserie dial, the integrated bracelet, and the iconic octagonal case, but with the addition of day and date sub-dials, as well as a moonphase display at six o'clock. Quintessentially Royal Oak, the immaculate stainless steel case and integrated bracelet reflect even the smallest amount of light with a unique beauty, as does the Mk 1 Petite Tapisserie dial, cut using a 100-year old pantograph technique unique to Audemars Piguet. Its crisp white tone dovetails beautifully with the silver day and date subdials that peer out at the wearer, giving rise to the collectors’ nickname for this piece - “The Owl”. The gorgeous moonphase at 6 o’clock adds a touch of sophisticated colour and beauty to the timepiece, and at 36mm, the watch has traditionally unisex dimensions but wears surprisingly larger on the wrist, due to its sharp angles and elongated lugs. Stylish, refined and ultra-desirable.
