At the Basel Fair in 1972,the watch brand Audemars Piguet presented the Royal Oak replica watches line with a stainless steel case and integrated bracelet.The watch model suddenly surprised the public with a“different”design,like no other.After that,Royal Oak gradually became the most prominent collection of Audemars Piguet.
Gérald Genta,one of the most famous watch designers in the world,was commissioned by Audemars Piguet in 1971 on the eve of Basel.The brand expected him to create an unthinkable steel watch.To this day,a design that can be used anywhere,anytime.Gérald Genta has only 24 hours to complete the mission.And then the challenge was mastered,a design for life was born:Royal Oak.
Gérald Genta met a diver who had just returned from Lake Geneva and the shape of his helmet screws inspired him to design the Royal Oak.It is precisely the 8 hex screws and watertight seal that make up the octagonal bezel of the replica watches.
The design of the case of Royal Oak is very complicated,the processing and manufacture of the steel case is very difficult in terms of tools and costs,so the manufacturer chose white gold before launch.
The product was completed in 1972.According to the Audemars Piguet brand,the cost of making a case in high quality steel is higher than the cost of making a case in white gold.
Gérald Genta thinks that the name of the new replica watches must be associated with maritime elements,since the inspiration behind the design of the Royal Oak is the helmet for professional divers.In the end,the choice fell on the name Royal Oak.There is a theory behind this name,namely the name of the British Royal Navy's famous fleet ship,which is derived from a tree that saved the life of King Charles II.The British Army of the Roundheads after the battle.Worcester War in 1651.
The replica rolex Royal's bezel screws are all gold,although it looks like steel.These screws do not have the effect of securing the edge but,more simply,they appear to be locked and have the main aesthetic role.Tightening the case is the responsibility of the screws on the back of the replica watches case.
