It wasn't until 1980 that a “real” Royal Oak was equipped with a quartz movement, and the collection grew with at least 59 models created, reaching a peak in 1986 when quartz movements accounted for half the watches produced by Audemars Piguet.
The model we have here, reference 56175BA, has a 33mm yellow gold case, just 5.7mm thick. Its champagne-colored “Small Tapestry” dial displays the date in an aperture at 3 o'clock. The octagonal case shape and integrated bracelet make the watch larger than its dimensions would suggest, while retaining the proportions of its iconic original design.
This model is equipped with the ultra-thin quartz caliber 2612.
The watch comes with an extract from the Audemars Piguet archives (on order).
