Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 14332SA 'Mini Jumbo'
SOLD
A wristwatch that needs no introduction, the Royal Oak from Gerald Genta's hands remains as one of the most striking and remarkable integrated sports watches. The choice of a two-tone metal combination is prominent during the 1980s with unisex proportion and appeal, frankly quite ahead of its time.

READINGS
The designs and executions from Genta has gained dramatic exposure over the past decade, from the infamous Royal Oak to the reclaimed Nautilus, Ingenieur and Pole-router - each of his designs have been fundamental to the progression of integrated bracelet watch and its ergonomics.
Following the Quartz Crisis, the 1980s witnessed a resurgence of integrated bracelet watches, first coming the Royal Oak in 1972, Vacheron Constantin 222 in 1977, Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800 in 1980 and progressing towards a ‘transitional’ era for wristwatches.
The choice of two-tone metal combination is prominent during this period with unisex proportion and appeal. Personally I think this ‘neo-vintage’ period offers an exceptional variety of pieces from most horological houses and the finish and techniques are quite ahead of its time.
