The Royal Oak is an icon that needs no introduction. With its recognisable shape, storied legacy, and the status of being a pioneer in the luxury sports watch category, it is the magnum opus of not just Audemars Piguet but of the watchmaking industry as a whole.

The 2012 update of the Royal Oak - 15400ST was an elevated version of its predecessor - 15300ST. The most significant revision made to this new reference was the case size which altered from 39mm to a more notable 41mm. This Royal Oak 15400ST.OO.1220ST.02 is a streamlined, good-looking version of the Royal Oak, rendered in stainless steel with a silver dial featuring the signature Grande Tapisserie pattern and a signature octagonal bezel adorned with a fine brushed finish throughout. The sleek hour markers and handset along with the clean application of the brand signature ensure the watch's legibility is intact. The crown too is signed with the brand logo, and the bracelet is designed in a recognisable integrated fashion. Further, a date window has been neatly tucked at three o'clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
