Since its introduction in 1972, the Royal Oak has defined, for most haute horlogerie aficionados, the height of sporty elegance.  Originally released with the legendary and very exclusive cal. 2121, which was only used by the most elite brands, the line has gone on to a long lived success.

Today, the Royal Oak line is a diverse model family comprising many different models and complications, from the most basic time, second, and date, to the most sophisticated models featuring perpetual calendars, dual time indicators, chronographs, tourbillons, and even Grande Complications.  At the leading edge are two very special models, the Cabinet #4 and the Concept Watch CW-1.

It has also spawned the currently white hot Royal Oak Offshore line, with its own model family extensions.
