2007 Used, minor to no usage signs Box: Yes Documents: Yes Brand : Audemars Piguet Model : Royal Oak 15300 Stainless Steel / Blue Reference : 15300ST.OO.1220ST.02 Case material : Stainless Steel Case diameter : 39 Glass : Sapphire Dial color : Blue Since its launch in 1972, the Royal Oak underwent different design changes and received added complications, however all the early iterations had one thing in common, other than their name: they featured outsourced movements. In the early 2000s, Audemars Piguet introduced the present reference 15300, a Royal Oak housing an in-house movement, caliber 3120, for the very first time. This new automatic movement was a superbly conceived and well-executed caliber with numerous novel features including a sixty-hour power reserve relying on only one barrel, a Gyromax balance held in place via a bridge and not a cock and a date mechanism equipped with a safety system preventing the date disk from blocking if the owner tries to manually reset the date at midnight. Now discontinued, the reference 15300 is considered by many as the quintessential modern Royal Oak, having found the perfect equilibrium between iconic design and modern mechanics.
