Introducing the Royal Oak: Your Ticket to Timeless Style and Adventure!

When we talk about the Royal Oak, our minds immediately conjure up images of that iconic octagonal case designed by Gerald Genta and unveiled in 1972. It was a revolution in its time, emerging during the quartz crisis as an innovative design icon with a well-known backstory!

Let us introduce you to its quartz-powered little sister – the Royal Oak 6005. This model shares the same DNA as its mechanical counterpart, featuring a futuristic rectangular case and the signature integrated bracelet. With its avant-garde design and experimental spirit, the 6005 embodies the essence of the Royal Oak.

So, if you're seeking a piece of horological history with a twist, look no further than the Royal Oak 6005 – a true gem from Audemars Piguet's innovative legacy!

Did you know? In catalogs from 1978-1979 and beyond, the 6005 model was never referred to as a Royal Oak but simply as "Quartz." These timepieces were part of the "Ligne AP Quartz," a distinction maintained until at least 1985.
