The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402 A Series is a foundational piece in watchmaking, widely credited with inventing the luxury sports watch category upon its 1972 debut. Designed by Gérald Genta, this 39mm stainless steel timepiece broke new ground by blending high-end horology with an industrial aesthetic and a steel case, a radical concept at the time. Collectors particularly seek out the A Series as it represents the initial 2,000 pieces ever made.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402 A Series is the original reference that launched the modern luxury sports watch category in 1972. Designed by Gérald Genta, this first-generation Royal Oak was revolutionary for pairing fine watchmaking with an industrial aesthetic and steel case. The A Series is particularly coveted among collectors for being part of the first 2,000 pieces ever produced, making it a cornerstone in horological history.

This 39mm stainless steel model features the iconic octagonal bezel with exposed screws, a slim 7mm profile, and an integrated bracelet with unparalleled finishing for its era. The black “Petite Tapisserie” dial is understated yet distinctive, framed by long white gold hour markers and the vintage “AP” logo at 6 o’clock—exclusive to the earliest executions. Inside ticks the ultra-thin Caliber 2121, celebrated for its refinement and reliability. The Royal Oak 5402 A Series remains one of the most important and collectible watches ever made.
