Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

In April 1972, Audemars Piguet launched a new, unique and eye-catching model that shocked the luxury watch world. AP's new work attracted participants at the Swiss Watch Fair (now called BaselWorld)-we call it Royal Oak today.Audemars Piguet ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE 26405CG.OO.A004CA.01

The Royal Oak uses a stainless steel structure and eight exposed hexagonal bezel screws, turning the design world of luxury watches upside down. Its bracelet is integrated, and the functional components of the watch can be seen throughout the world.

The masterpiece of watch designer Gérald Genta is even bolder than the design-the price of the Royal Oak. Its price is 3,300 Swiss francs, which is more than 10 times higher than the price of the Rolex Submariner. Compared with gold formal watches, it is more comparable to stainless steel sports watches.

Like many unique products, Royal Oak was both praised and criticized when it was first released. Its unusual design was cancelled as an attention-seeking head. But over time, the Royal Oak will only get better. After several months, watch enthusiasts began to feel satisfied with its subversive design and realized that it is a bold and innovative watch. Interestingly, it's not just the Royal Oak design that is a gamble for AP. In 1971, just a year before the release of the watch, the company was caught in a major crisis that could lead to bankruptcy.

In the 1970s, Japanese watchmakers shook up Swiss luxury watchmaking. The Swiss industry, which specializes in mechanical watches, finds itself resisting competition from abroad, which offers much cheaper quartz watches. Many Swiss watchmakers went bankrupt. Many people in the industry expect AP to be one of them. Beginning in 1970, the year before Royal Oak was launched, to 1988, Swiss watch factories laid off more than 62,000 employees, accounting for two-thirds of the Swiss replica watches for sale industry's workforce.

By 1978, Hong Kong had become the world's largest exporter of watches. Five years later, the Swiss watch industry has dropped from 1,600 watchmakers to only 600. The industry is in crisis, and Royal Oak is seen as being bet by the Associated Press at the wrong time. Ironically, it was AP's risky bet that ultimately saved the company. Royal Oak has achieved great success. Its unique design and high price make it completely impossible for foreign competitors to provide: a high-end Swiss-style watch that is completely designed rather than functional.

Since 1972, Royal Oak has gradually developed into AP's most famous watch, in accordance with many standards, the company's iconic design. The Associated Press (AP) gambling in 1971 not only paid off, it also helped the company flourish despite the failure of many competitors.

In an industry known for its conservative design methods, Audemars Piguet took a huge risk when it released the Royal Oak in 1972. It would be an understatement to say that risks have "brought rewards for AP"-Royal Oak has grown into one of the most iconic watches of the 21st century.
