Audemars Piguet Royal Oak caused controversy at Baselworld. The Royal Oak watch was designed by Gerald Genta.
Reportedly working on preliminary design sketches overnight, the Royal Oak made waves in the industry with its unconventional design and high price for a steel watch.
The now-iconic octagonal bezel, exposed screws, and integrated bracelet certainly make the Royal Oak eye-catching, but like anything ahead of its time, it took a few years for the watch to gain traction among collectors.
The Royal Oak watch has now become one of the most popular watches in the world. It’s available in a variety of sizes and case materials, with complications ranging from chronographs to extremely complicated perpetual calendars. Stainless steel models are the most popular, and like the Rolex Daytona and Patek Philippe Nautilus, they have long waiting lists at authorized retailers and are priced higher on the second-hand market.

I bought a real mechanical watch at this price, and it is a famous watch. It is really worth it. I put it on immediately after receiving it. I really want to show my temperament. The packaging is very exquisite, the dial is also beautiful, and the cost performance is too high.👍👍👍👍

This is the second watch I bought this year, one black and one white, one for myself and one for my brother-in-law. The watch looks simple, calm and elegant. My brother-in-law said he likes it very much and will buy one for me next time.
