Short description:

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 15500ST.OO.1220ST.04 is the modern 41 mm stainless-steel Royal Oak with a silver-toned “Grande Tapisserie” dial and updated in-house Calibre 4302. With 70 hours of power reserve, 50 m water resistance and the iconic integrated bracelet, this reference delivers everyday wearability, contemporary proportions and one of the most recognizable designs in modern watchmaking.

Overview

The Royal Oak 15500ST replaces the long-running 15400 as the current 41 mm, three-hand selfwinding Royal Oak with date. Reference 15500ST.OO.1220ST.04 pairs a brushed stainless-steel case and bracelet with a silver-toned dial, creating a bright, versatile aesthetic that highlights the “Grande Tapisserie” pattern and applied white gold hour markers.

This is the Royal Oak for those who want the full impact of the original design language with a more contemporary case size, modern in-house movement and open caseback.

Design & Wrist Presence

The 41 mm stainless-steel case retains all the familiar Royal Oak codes:

• octagonal bezel secured by visible hexagonal screws

• vertically brushed surfaces with polished bevels

• integrated stainless-steel bracelet that tapers elegantly to the folding clasp

The silver dial offers a clean, understated look that shifts with the light as the tapisserie pattern catches reflections. The applied indexes and hands are filled with luminescent material, making the watch legible in low light while still keeping the dial minimal and balanced.

On the wrist, the 15500ST has strong presence without feeling oversized. The integrated bracelet distributes the weight evenly, and the slim profile allows the watch to slide under a cuff while still reading unmistakably as a Royal Oak from across the room.

Movement & Performance

Inside the 15500ST beats Audemars Piguet’s in-house Calibre 4302, a selfwinding (automatic) movement with:

• approximately 70 hours of power reserve

• central seconds

• date at 3 o’clock

• modern beat rate and architecture designed for accuracy and reliability

The movement is visible through the open caseback, allowing you to admire the rotor, bridges and finishing. With 50 m / 5 bar water resistance, the watch is well suited to daily wear — resistant to splashes, rain and everyday contact with water, while remaining a refined luxury piece rather than a dedicated sports diver.
