The Royal Oak
The Royal Oak is widely regarded as a true icon, one of the most recognizable and influential wristwatch designs ever created. As the first high-end sports watch made of stainless steel, it completely changed the industry when it was first released in 1972. The watch, which was created by the renowned Gérald Genta, is distinguished by its octagonal bezel that is fastened with visible screws. It is said that this design was influenced by an old diver's helmet. With its integrated bracelet, sharp geometry, and exceptional finishing, the Royal Oak established a new category in watchmaking, blending sportiness with high watchmaking.
