HISTORY:
- ***Most of us will never have a opportunity to own a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, well here is your chance!! So the story goes, the Royal Oak was designed by Gereld Genta while working at Bulova, but only manufactured on a very limited base. Afterward, Mr. Genta went on to work with Patek Philipe, IWC, Audemars Pigeut and even introduce his own brand. While at Audemars though, Mr. Genta brought back his Royal Oak design and the AP Royal Oak has been in continuous production since 1972 & it has gone on to be one of the most recognizable watches in the world!!!
Overview:
