The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, designed by Gérald Genta in 1972, is the most iconic watch from the brand. According to legend, the watch is named for a group of vessels in Britain's Royal Navy, which is reflected in its water-resistant design inspired by antique diving helmets. Recognized as the world's first luxury sports wristwatch, the Royal Oak continues to have a strong following among collectors even 50 years after its debut. The firm limits production making this example a rarity on the market today.
