Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402ST A-Series watch front

Audemars Piguet

Royal Oak A-Series, 1972

Why It Matters

Gérald Genta's 1972 Royal Oak placed an integrated steel bracelet and octagonal case within the luxury-watch category. The ref. 5402ST is the original generation of that design. Its historical position, movement and preservation of the case and bracelet explain its significance beyond the familiar outline.
