Developed during the quartz crisis which strongly hit the Swiss watch industry in the late 1960s and beginning of the 1970s, the Royal Oak revolutionised the market creating a new category: stainless steel sports watches.
This is a ref. 15450, a model that was added to Audemars Piguet's catalog in 2012 as a mid-size option with a 37mm diameter. The present example features a Ruthenium-toned dial with “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating.
