This watch, introduced in 2017, boasts slim proportions with a 39mm case size. With its 18k yellow gold case, gold Grand Tapisserie dial, and yellow date disc (instead of the usual white), this is a truly monochrome piece.
Nestled inside the watch is the exceptional in-house Calibre 2121 automatic movement, which is also employed in the original Royal Oak ref 5402. It held the distinction of being the thinnest full-rotor self-winding movement for an extended period. Adorned with 36 jewels, it offers a power reserve of 40 hours.
