Launched in 2012 for the Royal Oak’s 40th anniversary and discontinued in 2021, this 37mm steel reference is the smaller, unisex take on Genta’s 1972 icon, with its signature Grande Tapisserie dial. It’s a strong pick for collectors who want a watch that honors the original 1972 design and wears anywhere, but prefer a sized-just-right case over the current 41mm. 

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Silvered “Grande Tapisserie” dial with small raised squares shifts from bright white to soft silver as light moves across it, set off by white gold applied hour-markers for a clean, textured face. Case and bracelet pair high-polish bevels against brushed surfaces, with the mirror chamfers flashing and the brushed tops remaining matte as you move. Octagonal bezel with eight hexagonal screws anchors the Royal Oak’s signature design element, recognizable at a glance.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Screw-down crown on the right side sets the hands and quick-sets the date, with hacking seconds for precise time-setting. With 50 meters of water resistance to handle daily wear and splashes, and a 60-hour power reserve that covers a weekend off the wrist. Luminous hands and markers glow in low light, keeping the dial readable at night and crisp in daylight. 

Discontinued, gender-neutral, and one of the most wearable Royal Oaks ever made, this reference delivers the complete iconic design without the larger footprint. It suits a first-time AP buyer, a collector with a slimmer wrist, or a couple who’d share one watch across dress and daily wear, and it’s yours to inquire about anytime.
