In 2022, this luxury steel sports watch will celebrate its 50th birthday. Before the big celebrations begin, we take a look at this year’s collection by the Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer.
Firstly, the four references in stainless steel and 18-carat pink gold complement the manufacturer’s current Royal Oak Selfwinding and Quartz collection. To note: The new 34mm models are not replacing the current 33mm Royal Oak Quartz models, but complement the existing Royal Oak Selfwinding collection. Two steel models feature a silver-toned or blue-grey “Grande Tapisserie” dial. The blue-grey watch is adorned with a diamond-set bezel. The new 34 mm line also features an 18-carat pink gold model with diamond-set bezel and silver-toned “Grande Tapisserie” dial.
There is also a two-tone model with a combination of stainless steel case and bracelet with an 18-carat pink gold bezel and bracelet links. This model comes with a silver-toned “Grande Tapisserie” dial.
The timepieces get its power from a new self-winding movement, calibre 5800, that has a dedicated oscillating weight specifically developed for this new 34mm version.
