Why this one
The case for this one.
- The Royal Oak at its purest: steel, 37 mm, Tapisserie dial.
- The light blue dial of the current generation, hard to allocate anywhere.
- Genta’s 1972 silhouette, unchanged where it counts.
Gerald Genta sketched the Royal Oak overnight in 1972 and changed what a luxury watch could be: steel, finished like gold. The 37 mm case suits nearly every wrist, and the light blue Grande Tapisserie dial is the shade of the moment. This 15550ST is effectively new, with box and papers.
