Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch features a 25mm white gold case designed with the distinctive octagonal architecture associated with the Royal Oak collection. This case is matched with an integrated bracelet, maintaining the signature geometric lines of the model family. The watch is distinguished by its jewelry-oriented execution, which replaces the traditional steel finish with precious metal and decorative stone settings.

The dial is crafted from pale blue mother-of-pearl, chosen for its light-reflecting qualities. It is adorned with applied diamond hour markers and includes a date window positioned at the three o'clock mark. Centrally, the dial features a diamond-set inner octagonal frame that echoes the shape of the external bezel, reinforcing the design geometry.

Design Heritage

The design draws upon the original 1972 Royal Oak aesthetic, originally conceived by Gérald Genta.

The object serves as a refined variation of this design language, specifically adapted for a smaller proportion while preserving the geometric consistency of the larger references.

This piece balances the industrial characteristics of the Royal Oak design with elements of high jewelry. By utilizing white gold and diamonds, the manufacturer maintains the original silhouette while shifting the visual focus toward an elegant, jewelry-forward presentation. It demonstrates the versatility of Genta's original design, which allows for consistent legibility and recognition across different material applications.
