Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Royal Oak Watch?
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is the most famous creation of the Swiss manufacturer. It was the world's first steel luxury sports watch when it debuted in 1972. In addition to the material, the design caused quite an uproar. Created by renowned watch designer Gérald Genta, the original Royal Oak came with an integrated bracelet and porthole-inspired octagonal bezel with eight decorative screws.
Modern models retain these classic characteristics, even as the line expanded to include precious metal and complicated designs.
Do AP Royal Oak Watches Hold Their Value?
Audemars Piguet belongs to the “Holy Trinity” of watch manufactures, alongside Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. These 3 companies have been at the forefront of watchmaking and set the standard for design and craftsmanship.
Aside from their inherent prestige, Audemars Piguet produces about 50,000 watches per year (as of 2022), which is a small number compared to other watch brands that produce more than a million units annually.
What Is The Difference Between Royal Oak And Royal Oak Offshore?
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was introduced in 1972, after which it became the first steel luxury sports watch.
By 1993, the company decided on creating a more masculine and sportier version of the classic Royal Oak to attract younger audiences and sport enthusiasts – the result was the Royal Oak Offshore.
Both the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore possess a porthole-shaped case and geometric design. The Royal Oak has thinner profile, with the cases for men’s watches ranging from 39 – 44mm, while the Royal Oak Offshore range from 42 – 45mm.
Their chronograph versions also differ – the Royal Oak Chronograph sports a 3-6-9 layout, while the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph offers both standard and vertical versions.
