Specialist note

Founded in 1875 by Jules Audemars and Edward-August Piguet, the Swiss manufacture known today as Audemars Piguet is part of the rare fine watch-making companies still held by the families of their founding partners.

One of the firm's most popular successes has been to create the first luxury sport watch, the Royal Oak. Designed overnight in 1972 by the widely acclaimed Gerald Genta, and later qualified as the masterpiece of his career, the Royal Oak secured a discerning and informed audience and became throughout the years the emblem of the manufacture as well as a true icon within the watch community.
