Hello!


This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
Today we have a rare model of the first Royal Oak!!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dark Grey Dial
Ref.5402ST Serial.B
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!

The Royal Oak is a classic luxury sports watch, released in 1972.
The model that has arrived this time is the first Royal Oak "Ref. 5402ST" .
The Extra Thin model, released in 2012 as a reissue of this model, is also a rare model.
The original model is even rarer.
This is a model that is rarely seen on the market.
This first generation jumbo model is a great example with plenty of recommended features .
Please take a look.

First, look at the dial.
This is the original dial with the AP logo at the 6 o'clock position .
Compared to Extra Thin,
The hands and indexes are slightly thin.
This dial really brings out the vintage feel.

At this age,
The dial condition is a very important point ,
This particular watch has a dial made of K18YG that is barely visible.
The dial is in very good condition .
The hands are also tritium hands that have not been replaced.
While many of them are being replaced,
The condition of the luminous hands is also excellent.

The serial number is B. This item was manufactured in the late 1970s.

Another plus point is that it comes with an original crown without the AP logo.
The caliber is the thin automatic winding Cal.2121.
The case is only 8mm thick.

The buckle is an original plain buckle.

The retro buckle that evokes a certain era is irresistible.

Well then!!
The best thing about this piece is its excellent condition.
There are small scratches due to use,
It's rare to come across a watch that leaves such a good impression when you hold it.

The edge lines of the case remain beautiful.
It is kept in excellent condition!

The bezel condition is also excellent!
This crisp bezel is super cool!!

The bracelet is also vintage, so it is slightly worn,
It's very sturdy!

Wrist shot!!
Anyway, it's a cool vintage Royal Oak!

The first Royal Oak "5402ST"

It is attractive just because it has a very beautiful dial with the logo below,
The item we have in stock this time is a rare item with a case in excellent condition!
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak.
Be sure to grab a good specimen like this when you come across it!
If you are looking for the first Jumbo, please consider this one.
