Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Military Dial" ref.14790ST from 1999
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Military Dial" ref.14790ST from 1999
The history of Audemars Piguet and the Royal Oak is written in watchmaking tradition. In 1972, Gérald Genta designed a new watch that altered the norms on which the industry was based. Over time, it gradually helped to build a resurgence within Swiss watchmaking, firmly establishing a new appreciation for steel.
Contrary to what many enthusiasts believe, not all Royal Oak models have the same proportions. This 14790st model has become a topic of conversation among collectors for its similarity to the 1972 Royal Oak ref.5402st, finally emphasizing the importance of preserving the proportions dictated by Genta in the Royal Oak. Its case of only 7mm thickness is just as thick as that of the reference 5402, resulting in an extremely comfortable and elegant watch.
Leaving the watch design aside and delving into the dial, the watch features an exquisite deep glossy black dial with a 'Military' design.
