Introduced in 1972, the first Royal Oak ref. 5402 was designed by one of our most prolific watchmakers, Gerald Genta. Inspired by a scuba diving helmet and designed in one night, this model had no precedent at the time: a 39 mm steel case that earned it the nickname “Jumbo” and its impressive price tag of CHF 3,750 - more than ten times the price of a Rolex Submariner.

Parallel to the production of the iconic Royal Oak, a smaller version of this watch was launched around 1976/1977, ref. 4100, with a 36mm case and automatic movement. Quartz movements were extremely popular at the time, and Audemars Piguet naturally followed suit, creating new lines such as the 6001 and 6005.

It wasn't until 1980 that a “real” Royal Oak was equipped with a quartz movement, and the collection grew with at least 59 models created, reaching a peak in 1986 when quartz movements accounted for half the watches produced by Audemars Piguet.

The model we have here, reference 56175BA, has a 33mm yellow gold case, just 5.7mm thick. Its champagne-colored “Small Tapestry” dial displays the date in an aperture at 3 o'clock. The octagonal case shape and integrated bracelet make the watch larger than its dimensions would suggest, while retaining the proportions of its iconic original design. 

This model is equipped with the ultra-thin quartz caliber 2612.

The watch comes with an extract from the Audemars Piguet archives (on order).
