Audemars Piguet Royal Oak - A Rugged Watch for the Ultimate Sportsman

There's something about an oak tree that speaks of strength and timelessness. Flowers may fade and other things may come and go, but an oak tree will weather the storm. This is why Audemars Piguet has chosen the Royal Oak as the symbol for the signature line in its Prestige Sports collection. First produced in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak created the market for the stainless steel luxury watch, and continues to be a leading presence in that market today. The Royal Oak watch is a favorite of athletes and those with active lifestyles because of its durability, accuracy, and style.

The Hours and Minutes watches are the basic designs of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak line. But just because they're basic doesn't mean that they're not just as luxurious as any other luxury sports watch on the market. In fact, the Hours and Minutes watch is a popular choice because it's both durable and stylish. Whether you take it with you to the golf course or on a sailboat (it's water resistant up to fifty meters), the Royal Oak will be right there with you, ticking away the time to let you know when it's time to head back.

There are also plenty of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches that have additional features as well. The watches in the Chronograph line include stopwatch features, for those who need to know how fast things are going. The watches in the Second Time Zone line can show you the time in two different time zones, which is perfect for jetsetters. All of the watches in the Tourbillon line boast a tourbillon on the watch escapement, so that the orientation of the watch never affects its ability to function. The Skeleton line bares all by foregoing a face and allowing you to see everything that's going on inside it. The Perpetual Calendar line includes time, day of the week, date, moon phase, month, year, and leap years. It's everything you could possibly want to know while you're out and about. And the Grande Complication combines the best features of both the Chronograph and the Perpetual Calendar to create the ultimate watch for the ultimate sportsman.

When you live an active lifestyle, it's not easy to find a watch that will keep up with you without cramping your style. But that's exactly why the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch is perfect for your lifestyle.
