“I’d happily wear this watch every single day, the classic black dial brings out the incredible angles of the Royal Oak even more.” Nick Baranga, Founder

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 as it passes its 50th anniversary. The 15500 stays true to tradition while incorporating modern updates and changes: the new skeletonised 22k-gold rotor and sapphire exhibition caseback make it easier to appreciate the exquisite new Cal. 4302 movement, while at 41mm, its larger size enables the date window to return to its original position of 1972, rooting the watch in history. The immaculate satin brushed case and integrated bracelet reflect even the smallest amount of light with a unique beauty, and the mix of satin and polished finishes create a three-dimensional, luxury feel. With its rich black Grande Tapisserie dial, cut using a 100-year old pantograph technique unique to Audemars Piguet, this is a sports model with the elegance of a dress watch.
