5402ST, Royal Oak, A-Series, Steel Tank Normale Produced for one year onlyA ref. 5402ST A Series Royal Oak, from the very first years of the Royal Oak. This is the origin of that classic design, now more revered than ever. Designed by Grald Genta and unveiled at Basel in 1972, it was a turning point for watches as a whole. With a 7mm thin case and integrated bracelet, it began the category of integrated bracelet sports watch. This is a beautifully honest A Series with a lightly aged dial and strong case.
