When we talk about the Royal Oak, we all have in mind this octagonal case designed by Gerald Genta and introduced in 1972. It was a revolution in its day during the quartz crisis. An icon for its innovative design and history, which we don't need to tell you about! Today we present its little sister in quartz version. A model with a design related to the Royal Oak, with a rectangular and futuristic case with the same integrated bracelet, with a four-pocket bezel instead of the hexagonal bezel with eight screws. This difference is due to the fact that Audemars Piguet's management had long been opposed to the integration of a quartz model in this collection, which it believed represented the quintessence of the Maison's traditional savoir-faire. The solution was to find a balance. The so-called "classic" collections were round or oval, many of whose variants were equipped with the ultra-thin Calibre 2003, while the shaped watches would be quartz versions. Can we then ask whether this watch is a Royal Oak? It is indeed missing the octagonal bezel with its eight hexagonal screws. If we look in various printed sources, we can easily find the answer. In the 1978-1979 and later catalogues, model 6005 is never called Royal Oak but simply "Quartz". These watches were then called the "ap Quartz Line" which continued until at least 1985. So they are not Royal Oak, but "close relatives" according to the designer of this model, Jacqueline Dimier. This piece is in excellent condition for its age! Its 32 x 41 mm case has corners and edges that are still well defined, its 750 thousandths yellow gold bezel is superb, its sapphire crystal is flawless and its bracelet, with a retractable clasp, is perfect, although it has very slight scratches from wear. Its Petite Tapisserie dial is "mouse grey", spotless, with the particularity of having the coat of arms of the Sultanate of Oman stamped on the dial consisting of two crossed swords. The mention "Audemars Piguet" on this dial is printed at six o'clock, as well as the mention "Quartz". It is topped with yellow gold hands and hour markers, giving this watch real prestige. A watch with the typical look of the seventies/eighties. On the motor side we find the Audemars Piguet caliber 2511. It is a very precise quartz caliber, developed and based on an Omega caliber for the Manufacture ap. It is a high frequency movement, 32,768 oscillations per second to be precise! It was then finished and assembled by hand by the watchmakers. The management and setting of the time is very simple. The first notch in the crown allows you to set the hour hand, while a pusher is located in the crown to set the minutes. Water resistant up to 30 meters. This Audemars Piguet Quartz in very good condition comes with no box and no papers.
