The
luxury watch designer from Joux Valley called
Audemars Piguet was created by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet in 1875. For over 125 years Audemars Piguet has been
designing unique watches from classic to sporty to contemporary. Being known for celebrity athlete endorsements, the watch company has been creating sporty watches like the

The Royal Oak is a part of Audemars Piguet’s prestige sports watch collections and was first introduced in 1972 by designer Gerald Genta.

The watch reflects the glory and nobility of the Royal Navy with its sleek and confident design.
