About Audemars Piguet
Founded in 1875 in Le Brassus and one of the few major Swiss houses still owned by descendants of its founders, Audemars Piguet built its modern identity on a single watch: the Royal Oak. Designed by Gérald Genta in 1972 and originally derided as overpriced — a steel watch costing more than gold dress watches — the Royal Oak created the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch category that Patek (Nautilus), Vacheron (Overseas), and dozens of others later followed.
The current catalog runs from 34mm Royal Oak ladies' references to the 44mm Royal Oak Offshore Diver and the 42mm Royal Oak Concept tourbillons. The Code 11.59 collection, introduced in 2019, gives AP a contemporary round-case dress-sport platform outside the Royal Oak silhouette. Both lines are powered by in-house Manufacture Royale movements, finished to haute-horlogerie standards.
Royal Oak steel sport references — the 15500 (formerly 15400) — sit alongside the Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut 5167 in the rarefied "stainless steel sports watches with multi-year waitlists" category. Retail starts around $25,000.
