Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Steel and Gold ref 14486SA

The year 1986 marked the debut of a new icon in the Royal Oak collection – the Royal Oak 14486SA. First featured in the 1986-1987 Audemars Piguet catalogue, this exquisite timepiece masterfully combines two premium materials: steel and 3N yellow gold, resulting in a timelessly elegant design. With a 36mm case diameter, this model offers the perfect size for the wrist, balancing a refined fit with the bold aesthetic characteristic of the Royal Oak line.

The Royal Oak 14486SA stands out with its slate grey Tapisserie dial, harmonizing with the grey tones of the steel case and bracelet links. This sophisticated color palette is accentuated by the bezel, screws, hands, and hour markers, all crafted in 3N yellow gold, creating a striking contrast that enhances the overall beauty of the watch.

This model is not only a design marvel but also bears the mark of exceptional craftsmanship. The case was produced in Italy by LASCOR, a supplier located near Milan, reflecting meticulous attention to quality and detail. Meanwhile, the bracelet was crafted by Gay Frères, the renowned Geneva-based manufacturer, celebrated for its precision and artistry in producing Royal Oak bracelets.
