To mark the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet hired a young designer, Emmanuel Gueit, to design a new watch known as the Royal Oak Offshore. The Offshore was formally introduced in 1993, with a much larger case which was thought to be tougher than the original. The new watch proved to be just as successful as the original. In 1946, produced the world’s thinnest watch, with a 1.64-mm-thick movement.
In 2006, introduced the world’s first direct-impulse escapement, based on a design by watchmaker Robert Robin in the 18th century. In 1972, introduced the world’s first luxury sport wristwatch, the Royal Oak. In 1921, created the world’s first jumping-hour wristwatch, driven by Calibre HPVM10”’. Our offered watch is in a generally very good condition. Strict dealer guidelines In the interest of security, dealers on our marketplace must follow a strict set of rules.

The first skeleton pocket watch was created by Audemars Piguet in 1934. The brand proudly rolled out the thinnest wristwatch by 1946. It was in 1975 that they brought the first wristwatch featuring a perpetual calendar to the market. This reference represents the earlier productions characteristically, with a flat Audemars Piguet signature, unsigned crown, and lumeless Petite Tapisserie. The dial was executed in a warm cream tone, perfectly accenting the gold case and likely by Stern no less.
