It\u2019s a watch that successfully bridges the aesthetics of what made the Royal Oak so popular together with modern appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Off the bat, the Royal Oak ref. 15400ST sports a 41mm size case rather than the 39mm diameter of the 15300ST it replaced. Because as most of us know, the luxury watch audience has been gravitating towards larger timepieces for a while now.<\/p>\n<p>The stainless steel case is of course home to the iconic eight-sided bezel dotted with eight exposure screws that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/bulgari\/cult-lives-bulgari-octo-watches.html\">the watchmaking legend Genta<\/a> confirmed was inspired by a vintage diving helmet. The bezel sits on top of the just-as-famous \u201cGrande Tapisserie\u201d dial. While this particular model has a black dial, there are also white and blue options.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16943\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16943\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16943 size-full\" title=\"The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST is 41mm that also features a date complication.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0394-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0394-Edit.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0394-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0394-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0394-Edit-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST has a 41mm casesize.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The textured dial sets the background to the straightforward functions\u2014three center hands and a date window at 3 o\u2019clock. AP aficionados will quickly notice the presence of the white gold applied double batons at the top of the dial for 12 o\u2019clock. Although this index style did not exist on the preceding 15300ST, it was present on the inaugural Genta Royal Oak in 1972.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the bezel and dial, another characteristic design trait of the Royal Oak is its bracelet. In typical fashion, the steel bracelet on this Royal Oak 15400ST is integrated into the case. Plus, there\u2019s the pair of vertical chains that run through the horizontal links that is so distinct. Manufacturing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak bracelet is a notoriously complex process. In fact, much of it is by hand. But, it&#8217;s undeniable that the finished result is worth it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16944\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16944\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16944 size-full\" title=\"The bracelet is integrated into the the case.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0393-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"AP Royal Oak\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0393-Edit.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0393-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0393-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AudmarsPiget-5D3_0393-Edit-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The steel bracelet on this Royal Oak 15400ST is integrated into the case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>The Mechanics of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Flip the Royal Oak 15400ST around and you\u2019ll catch a glimpse of the movement within via the sapphire caseback.
