Nicknamed "The Owl," this 18k yellow gold Royal Oak proves that perfect proportions never age. A Gérald Genta icon where harmony, rarity, and quiet complication continue to elevate its legend.

The original luxury sports watch, Gérald Genta’s Royal Oak holds legendary status on its 50th anniversary, and this ref. 25594 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 18k yellow gold brushed case and integrated bracelet reflect even the smallest amount of light with a unique beauty, as does the Petite Tapisserie dial, cut using a 100-year old pantograph technique unique to Audemars Piguet. Its cream-coloured tone contrasts beautifully with the golden day and date subdials that peer out at the wearer, giving rise to the collectors’ nickname for this piece - “The Owl”. 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.
