The iconic Royal Oak watch first launched in 1972 and set out to win over women’s wrists in 1976. At nearly 40, the star is approaching the prime of its life and wraps its famous octagonal bezel and eight hexagonal screws in rose gold and 40 diamonds (approx. 0.73 carat) to celebrate. The bezel tops an edgy steel 33mm case designed to fit a lady’s wrist perfectly. Its silver dial bears the famous “Grande Tapisserie” pattern designed by Audemars Piguet for this collection. Its luminescent rose gold indices are tracked by two gold and phosphorescent hour and minute hands in the centre fuelled by a quartz movement inside the case. The date display stands at 3 o’ clock and, like the crown, the central links on the steel strap are in rose gold. Price: 19’100 CHF
