I am looking into getting a ap royal oak. I tried on a 39mm and because of the shape and size of my wrist the lugs overhung. I am not a fan of huge watches as the sub c is the biggest I can go without looking stupid.. I also have a 36mm date just that fits great so I am guessing the ap 36mm would fit great.mi was looking at a Reference number: 25594ST/O/0789ST/05 on the bay that is close to me so I might be able to go check it out in person.. It has the ap clasp but a lot of the 36mm do not have the ap clasp so I am guessing the one I am looking at is a late model right before they got discontinued. I am also thinking of a newer 15450 that is 38mm I believe but it only has one dial color. I would love a 37-38 mm chrono or dual time or moon phase.. I also read that these watches are a fortune to overhaul and if I get a older 36mm then I will prob have to send it in for a overhaul. Does anyone know about how much a moon phase 36mm is to do a full service.. So what I really need to know is what year was the last that ap made a 36mm for men.. I really want a ap next but after trying one 39mm on I was a little disappointed that its did not fit right..

I was thinking about it but I like the moonphase or chrono.. Does anyone know if there is a website that has all the royal oaks's reference numbers and sizes, clasps..ect...
I would love to read up on the history of the royal oak and changes in size and dirrent models.. I do not see alot of people on this forum with the older 36mm models..

My Royal Oak is a 36 mm. Reference 14790st.
From 1995 if I'm not mistaken....

It is a good fit for my wrist! (but I'm looking to upgrade to a 15300..)

cep55 · 17 November 2012, 09:57 AM

Please let me know if you didn't receive it (I couldn't find it in my "sent" box), but I may have a solution for you, 14790-wise... if you don't get my PM, please PM me with your email and I'll send the info.

thanks,
Christina

Does anyone know the last year that AP put out a 36mm??

I can't seem to find that information!

Submarino · 20 November 2012, 12:33 PM

Mid-90s.

I think they continued to the mid-2000s with the 14790 and limited editions thereof. The most recent piece I can easily find online is 2005, which would give it a short overlap with the 15300. The moonphases though ended earlier.

They are a pretty responsive company, if you email them I imagine they would give you the details.

It looks like a really nice piece that is fresh from service. I think the price is a bit high, but not unreasonable. Also 2006 papers makes it pretty fresh for a 36mm.

I'll defer to those who know this much better than me. But the Pictet et Cie limited was 2005, and that is basically a 14790. It does seem odd to run a limited edition off an obsolete model. And there are numerous 36mm models through 2005 on chrono24, though I guess it's possible they are all NOS.
