One of the most iconic watches of all time, Gérald Genta’s Royal Oak represents the origin of the luxury sports watch, and the masterpiece inspired by a traditional diver’s helmet remains as in-demand as ever on its 50th anniversary. Limited to 300 total pieces, this ref.26615TI was originally made for and leaked exclusively to the Japanese market, the first 150 models dropping at the retailer Yoshida almost in secret. With the remaining 150 pieces now open outside Japan, this perpetual calendar’s stunning-yet-subtle titanium and salmon colour scheme has, unsurprisingly, made it one of the most sought-after watches today. Its immaculate titanium, satin-brushed 41mm titanium case and integrated bracelet reflect even the smallest amount of light with a unique beauty, as does its salmon Grande Tapisserie dial, cut using a 100-year old pantograph technique unique to Audemars Piguet. As a perpetual calendar, the dial and subdials indicate the day, date, week, month, astronomical moon, leap year, and hour and minute indications, with the long, slender central hand operating as a week scale. Powered by the in-house cal.5134 movement and water resistant up to 20m, this is a uniquely-irresistible edition of a modern powerhouse.
