Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01 is a 41mm automatic watch in stainless steel, with a blue "Grande Tapisserie" dial and applied white-gold hour markers. It runs the in-house Caliber 4302 with 70 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its standout detail: introduced in 2019, it's the reference that replaced the storied 15400ST as the "entry" execution of the 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding, with redesigned dial details versus its predecessor.

History

The Royal Oak was born in 1972, designed by Gérald Genta, as the first luxury sports watch in steel, with a screwed octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet that broke with the dress-watch codes of the era. The 41mm execution with an automatic date caliber — the best seller in the entire collection — went through several reference generations: the 15400ST (2012-2019), itself the successor to the 15300ST (2005-2012).

In 2019, Audemars Piguet refreshed that entry execution with reference 15500ST, which introduced the new in-house Caliber 4302 — replacing the previous generation's Caliber 3120 — along with revised dial details: wider indexes, a minute track printed on the outer area of the dial, and a date window shifted slightly toward the edge, away from center.

Reference 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01, in blue, is one of the color variants from that 2019 generation, and it keeps the integrated case-and-bracelet architecture Genta designed more than five decades ago, along with the "Grande Tapisserie" pattern that has defined the Royal Oak dial since launch.

This is the second 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding reference Cazador adds, alongside the Royal Oak Offshore and Code 11.59 family variants already in the catalog.
