Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402ST

Description Designed by Gerald Genta in 1972, the Royal Oak is a classic for watch collectors. Inspired by diver’s helmets – it was designed by the great Gerald Genta, also the designer of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. The model we’re offering today is an early version of the 5402 also known as an A series watch due to the A inscription engraved onto the case-back of the first 2000 numbered watches. The watch comes with the original dial with the AP logo at 6 o’clock and “Swiss” signature. The bracelet is tight, and the clasp and buckle are original to the watch as well as the winding crown.
