Deriving inspiration for its shape from a ship's porthole, the iconic Gérald Genta designed the first Royal Oak in the midst of the Quartz crisis of the 1970s. Originally crafted in stainless steel, the legendary design has undergone more than 500 variations, including the use of different materials for their case.
The present lot masterfully combines stainless steel and yellow gold and stands as a great opportunity to acquire a variation of the much coveted Royal Oak family.
