Lot Essay
Very rarely offered at auction, international clients and collectors will immediately appreciate this superb 41mm. self-winding ‘50th Anniversary’ stainless steel Royal Oak with sublime Khaki Green dial. Consigned by the original owner, it is presented in impeccable condition and with full set of accessories, including the 50th Anniversary Certificate.
Regarded as one of the most attractive of the 50th Anniversary series, demand has always greatly exceeded supply for the ‘Khaki Green’ dial reference 15510ST , consequently it is almost impossible to obtain from AP boutiques. The present watch gives collectors the perfect opportunity to possess a wonderful example of this highly desirable contemporary rarity directly without waitlist or delay.
In 2022, as part of the Royal Oak’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, AP unveiled a range of new Royal Oaks in both steel and precious metals with a spectrum of different coloured dials. Five versions of the stainless steel reference 15510ST Royal Oak and two versions in 18k white gold were released. These models feature a special commemorative ‘50th Anniversary’ automatic winding rotor bearing the “50 Years” logo.
The 50th anniversary of AP’s Royal Oak was an important milestone event not only for Audemars Piguet the company, for whom it was an incredibly significant year, but also in the broader history of watchmaking. Any retrospective assessment of the Royal Oak’s wider impact on modern wristwatch design and the luxury wristwatch market in the modern era will identify its introduction in 1972 as a fearlessly bold and seminal moment that was truly the birth of a legend.
