Designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, the Royal Oak is an experience that is hard to put into words – and that’s a good thing. Due to the limitations of photographic reproduction, however, we are obliged to give it a try.
The timepiece on offer here, the ref. 26470ST.OO.A801CR.01, stands as one of the purest modern iterations of this iconic model. Its meticulously constructed 42mm case, a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship, beckons appreciation. Every facet, meticulously finished, boasts a complexity that challenges perception, transcending the familiar three dimensions with its intricate geometry and satin finish. The beveled edges gracefully soften the overall aesthetic, while the integrated leather bracelet follows a tapered design, ensuring a remarkably comfortable wearing experience. The latter’s stitching complements the color palette of the dial, which in turn evokes a number of associations. It is precisely the dial that gives the model its Safari designation, but the warm tones that draw from the Savannah are also quite reminiscent of those found in, say, a cup of freshly brewed cappuccino or along the edges of a rustic piece of furniture. And while it’s true that the Grande Tapisserie dial commands the most attention with its detailed symmetry, it is by virtue of the harmony of all the watch’s elements that, in its elusive alchemy, creates true magic. For example, the octagonal bezel captures the light, and the white gold hour indices and hands reflect it back, creating a delightful contrast that enhances legibility.
At the heart of this masterpiece is the in-house cal. 3126/3840 – a living marvel resembling a miniature galaxy when wound. Its functions encompass a chronograph, date, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Our offering is in excellent condition and comes in a full set of boxes and papers.

All of our modern watches are carefully inspected and serviced where needed to ensure that they are in excellent condition and ready to be worn and enjoyed for many years to come.

For our vintage watches, we go above and beyond to ensure that they are in excellent condition and have not been tampered with over the years. We check each vintage watch against our database of original examples to ensure that no components have been replaced or tampered with, and we try our best to only use OEM parts for servicing.
We understand that many vintage watches sold online have been re-dialed, overpolished, or have movement parts with questionable origins, so we are committed to upholding the highest standards of authenticity and quality in our vintage watches.
