Introduced in 1972, the first Royal Oak, ref. 5402, was designed by one of the most prolific watchmakers, Gerald Genta. Inspired by a diving helmet and designed in a single night, this model was unprecedented at the time: a 39mm steel case that earned it the nickname “Jumbo” and an impressive price tag of CHF 3,750, more than ten times the price of a Rolex Submariner.

Alongside the production of the iconic Royal Oak, a smaller version of this watch was launched around 1976–1977, the Ref. 4100, featuring a 36mm case and an automatic movement. Since quartz movements were extremely popular at the time, it was only natural that Audemars Piguet would join the trend by creating new lines, notably the Ref. 6001 and 6005.

It wasn’t until 1980 that a “true” Royal Oak was equipped with a quartz movement, and the collection expanded to include at least 59 models, reaching a peak in 1986 when quartz movements accounted for half of the watches produced by Audemars Piguet.

The model we have here, reference 56303ST, features a 33mm steel case just 5.7mm thick. Its dial features a “Petite Tapisserie” pattern in rhodium gray, typical of Royal Oaks from that era. The octagonal case shape and integrated bracelet make the watch appear larger than its dimensions would suggest, while maintaining the proportions of its iconic original design. 

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

The watch comes with its box, outer box, and certificate of origin (dated 1988).
