This unisex model features a popular blue dial for a refreshing impression, and is a slightly smaller 37mm case diameter. While the recent Royal Oak models are stylish, they are a bit large for those with smaller wrists, and the 39mm size is reserved for the more expensive Royal Oak Extra-Thin, making this model increasingly popular. The weight is just right, along with the size, making it perfect for all-day wear. With its versatile color and size, this is a recommended watch for both work and play.
1st place
Royal Oak Automatic "Ref.15550ST.OO.1356ST.06"
Taking the honorable first place is the Royal Oak Automatic "Ref. 15550ST.OO.1356ST.06," which has gained popularity for its combination of stainless steel and night blue dial .
The dial design has been changed from the previous model, Ref. 15450, eliminating the AP logo at 12 o'clock and the "AUTOMATIC" inscription at 6 o'clock, resulting in a cleaner design. While the Royal Oak is particularly popular for its blue dials, this new night blue dial is a deeper shade than the blue used on previous models, creating a more subdued impression, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The movement is the new in-house Cal. 5900, an upgraded version of the previous model's Cal. 3120, boasting a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. This is an incredibly attractive watch, offering both practicality and high investment value.
