Rooted in Gérald Genta's landmark 1972 blueprint, the Royal Oak 26020ST.OO.D001IN.02 presents a 42mm stainless steel case crowned by the collection's signature octagonal bezel, fastened by eight hexagonal screws. Sapphire crystal shields the white dial, whose petite tapisserie pattern lends a refined depth, while luminescent Arabic numerals and hands ensure clear readability across conditions.
Inside, an automatic movement with Côtes de Genève decoration drives the watch, its finishing visible through a transparent sapphire case back. A screw-locked crown and 100 metres of water resistance give the piece everyday versatility, whether dressed up or worn casually.
A rubber strap secured by a stainless steel folding clasp introduces a sportier character to the stainless steel case, broadening the watch's range of wear. This example is accompanied by its original box and papers, presenting as a complete set for the Royal Oak collector.
