Heritage Narrative
Few watches have shaped modern horology like the Royal Oak. First unveiled in 1972, Gérald Genta’s revolutionary design brought luxury steel sports watches to the forefront with its octagonal bezel, exposed screws, and integrated bracelet. Today, the Royal Oak remains one of the most recognizable and desirable watches in the world, blending bold aesthetics with uncompromising craftsmanship.
The reference 15550ST represents the latest evolution of the Royal Oak Selfwinding in the versatile 37 mm format. With refined case proportions, an updated movement, and the iconic “Grande Tapisserie” dial, it captures the timeless essence of the Royal Oak while suiting contemporary tastes.
This August 2025 example, reference 15550ST, features a stainless steel case and bracelet, striking blue dial, and sapphire crystal. Powered by the automatic calibre 5900, it delivers 60 hours of power reserve within a slim profile. Offered unworn and accompanied by its full set of box and papers, it stands as a pristine and highly collectible modern Royal Oak.
