This is a rarely seen example of a 33mm Royal Oak 15000ST whose proportions have been rendered into a more accessible size, reminiscent of vintage pieces.
At 33mm, this Royal Oak 15000ST has been scaled down to a more accessible size, retaining all the attractive features that distinguish the Royal Oak. The piece possesses the rounded porthole shape and makes use of an understated tapisserie pattern alongside the more traditional lozenge-shaped indexes.
Thanks to the substantial case and integrated bracelet of this Royal Oak, it wears larger on the wrist than its 33mm case would otherwise suggest. Despite its smaller size, it still houses a self-winding movement the calibre 2140 as opposed to a quartz movement, which you might expect in other pieces with a similar size. Moreover, it comes with its original bracelet and deployant clasp.
Rendered in stainless steel, this 15000ST is the epitome of casual luxury, combining practicality with provocative design. This piece is an excellent addition to the collection of anyone looking for a more modestly sized version of the Royal Oak that bears a close resemblance to its vintage predecessor.

This Audemars Piguet Royal oak is in overall fantastic condition with very little signs of wear to case and bracelet. The case finishing is of an excellent standard, though may previously have been polished. This can be seen though the brushed case and bracelet, to the polished sides of the octagonal bezel, bevelled case and bracelet. The caseback engravings are crisp and well defined with superficial marks at the 12 oclock position. The clasp is signed by Audemars Piguet, the crown unsigned. The tapisserie dial is in well preserved condition with the luminous hour and minute hands are beginning to show signs of patina to a creamy hue.
The watch comes with a two-year warranty from A Collected Man, alongside a lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
