AP Royal Oak 50th Anniversary Worth Recognizing the Classic 25572BA "Owl"

AUDEMARS PIGUET The highlight of Audemars Piguet in 2022 is the Royal Oak Royal Oak series entering its 50th anniversary. Recalling the history of this series of watches is definitely a legend in the history of watchmaking. When it was born in 1972, it was a bit bizarre for high-end brands to launch a sports watch made of stainless steel with a diameter of nearly 40mm, and the point is that this watch, called Royal Oak, is not as expensive as AP's precious metal. How cheap is the watch, it is conceivable that the Royal Oak was criticized when it first appeared; but at the same time, the appearance of the watch designed by the master Gérald Genta still created an unforgettable feature for it, including the octagonal shape. The bezel, the exposed screws on the bezel and the Tapisserie plaid dial are all important elements of the Royal Oak series so far.

Later, you and I know the development of the story. Audemars Piguet fake luxury watches insisted on the original intention of creating this work. No matter what, it was to promote it in the market. Genta's design has a unique aesthetic and forward-looking style, and the Royal Oak has risen to become the most representative work of AP. It has been popular for half a century. In the past 50 years, Audemars Piguet has used a variety of materials and sizes to derive a rich lineup of Royal Oak series. Among them is a work that has been discontinued, and it is still one of the early classics that collectors are talking about. Its model is 25572BA, and it is nicknamed "Owl" by watch fans.

The Royal Oak series currently on the official website of Audemars Piguet has functions ranging from simple to complex, such as two-hand, three-hand, chronograph, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, etc., but 25572BA does not belong to any of them, because it is A piece with a display of the day of the week. The 25572 model was born in the 1980s. In addition to the hour and minute display, the watch also has a pointer-type date display and a week display at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the dial. 25572BA is a gold case with a beige dial. Since the two small dials are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the dial, and the overall golden tone of the replica luxury watches price is naturally reminiscent of the owls commonly seen in the mountains. This watch is equipped with the 2124/2810 automatic movement - based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 900 series movement, the 2124/2810 movement contains 38 rubies, the power reserve is 40 hours, and its automatic disc is 21K gold, this point And the luxurious and extravagant appearance of 25572BA just echoes each other.

The watch diameter of 25572BA is 36mm, which is a little smaller than the original Royal Oak. The gold chain strap of the watch will also be enlarged in visual proportion. The reason why AP added a watch with a smaller diameter like this in the 1980s. It can be speculated that the Royal Oak is a compromise for market acceptance, that is, while maintaining the original Royal Oak specifications, other styles of watch diameters, materials and designs are added to meet the needs of the market. For example, the use of gold material in 25572BA is more in line with people's impression of high-end watches at that time. Although the date and week display of the best replica watches is not very complicated, it is always more convenient than the second and third needles of the current basic model. Its "owl" shape is so recognizable that it should have the potential to become popular now.
