In 1972, Audemars Piguet first introduced the Gerald Genta–designed Royal Oak to the market. It was iconoclastic to say the least. Since then, the Royal Oak has become one of the most instantly-recognizable watches in the world and early vintage examples are highly sought after. But what you may not know, is that in 1976 the very first ladies’ Royal Oak, designed by Jacqueline Dimier, was released. That makes this year the 40th anniversary of the ladies’ Royal Oak and Audemars Piguet has partnered up with Florentine jeweler Carolina Bucci to celebrate, releasing four new women’s watches with a new frosted gold finish.
