Since its introduction in 1972, the Royal Oak has seen a succession of numerous re-editions which, in some ways, have also distorted its simple and linear design with which it was conceived by Gerald Genta. The resignation has in fact been changed and its thickness has likewise undergone enormous variations going to meet the tastes of the customers who invoked aloud a more massive specimen. The lot offered here under the reference number 26022BC only existed in a blue or white dial like the present watch. This is a mid-size Royal Oak in white gold from Audemars Piguet measuring 39 mm in width with brushed and polished finishing, the white tapisserie decoration dial with luminous applied square hour indexes are intact and is completed by three subsidiary dials, for the seconds, the 12-hour and 30-minute registers, aperture for the date between 4 and 5 and luminous white “baton” hands. Moreover the lot here comes with a rubber strap and its original warranty and tag.
