NOT fashionably retro, but gracefully aged...

My rectangular AP Royal Oak Ref. 6005ST from 1977 was a rare and lucky find earlier this year, clearly forgotten by most and hence not much talked about - but not without its charm and merits trying to diversify a design that was set to become a beacon of...
Congratulations on this really elegant piece!

I was tempted repeatedly but somehow never went for it. Looks very elegant on you. Seems that AP and VC both tried for a rectangular extension of their signature sports watch, VC with an automatic, though...
It looks beautiful

I guess it is also due to the fact that nowadays these shapes are back in fashion, however, this one, the thinness, the RO style and the case are very appealing. Congratulations for you purchase and thanks for sharing, I didn't know such a version existed...
Thanks KMII, Nicolas and Mark

Wow, what a stunning watch. Never have seen it before, in some ways I like it more than regular RO. The designs back then were truly special. I am waiting for a new Gerald Genta to appear one of these days. No watch designer come even close to him today. ...
Thank you Mizur!

Genta surely had his great moments a few decades ago, tremendously productive 70\'s for him... Let me find out how much he had a hand in this rectangular version!
Appreciate your shared joy Michael!

Thank you - it\'s always nicest when pleasure can be shared! I feel the same when I see many of our fellow\'s postings...
A revelation

That's quite a find. I also had no idea a square Royal oak existed. Very classy indeed. The super-flat, square design goes particularly well with the integrated bracelet. Maybe better than the original.
Thanks Richard!

Very unexpectedly, my dear wife actually saw it in an online second-hand forum and gave me a heads-up - the rest is history ;o)
Goes so well together!!

The shape of the case goes so well with the bracelet!!! It looks fantastic! It looks so good on your wrist!!! Sweet!!!
Thank you Sir!

It was exactly that which made me not even consider the prejudices against its modest Quartz movement - the sum of it all was just irresistible...
Pure elegance.

That is beyootiful! Top of my Christmas list I love the way the rectangular dial is complemented by the tapisserie.
Ouha!!

Beautiful AP

A very timeless design. Looks great in all stainless steel rather than two-tone.
Rectangular?
By: drmoney : February 23rd, 2020-06:08
Still looks octagonal to me. Looks really great. So, are you saying the battery has to be replaced in less than 12 months?
