Royal Oak Midsize 6008SA Steel Gold Cal. 2502

About this item

• Brand: Audemars Piguet
• Collection: Royal Oak
• Model: Royal Oak
• Reference: 6008SA

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, reference 6008SA, is an early and now particularly interesting variation of the legendary Royal Oak design. The model was introduced in the early 1980s and is one of the first Royal Oak models in the compact 30-mm size. The 30-mm case is crafted from stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold. A particularly distinctive feature is the octagonal yellow-gold bezel with its eight visible screws—one of the Royal Oak’s unmistakable design elements. The integrated two-tone bracelet, made of stainless steel and yellow gold, consistently carries forward the classic design and is secured with a folding clasp. Inside, the watch is powered by the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2502, a high-quality quartz movement with 7 jewels. This exceptionally flat caliber was developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre and used in early Royal Oak quartz models starting in 1980. The Caliber 2502 in particular is a fascinating testament to the early quartz era at Audemars Piguet. With its combination of stainless steel and yellow gold, its compact proportions, and the characteristic integrated Royal Oak bracelet, the 6008SA reference possesses an unmistakable vintage character. It combines the iconic design of the Royal Oak with an important chapter in the history of Audemars Piguet.
