Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady Automatic – Stainless Steel | Reference 8638ST

A Rare and Historic Lady Royal Oak from the 1970s

This vintage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady Automatic, Reference 8638ST, represents the very first Royal Oak designed specifically for women. Introduced in 1976, the 8638 carried forward the revolutionary design language of the 5402 “Jumbo” of 1972, reinterpreted in a refined 29 mm case suited for a female clientele.

Crafted entirely in stainless steel, the case remains exceptionally sharp, with crisp bevels and the iconic octagonal bezel featuring exposed screws. The integrated bracelet, also in steel, is long and accommodates a wrist size of approximately 17–17.5 cm—rare for this reference and highly desirable for collectors.

Powered by the Self-Winding Calibre 2062

At its heart is the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2062, a compact yet robust self-winding movement based on a LeCoultre ébauche, celebrated for its slim architecture and reliability. This movement has benefited from multiple services over the years, supported by a wealth of accompanying documentation.

Brown Tropical Dial – Even and Beautifully Aged

The original dial has aged into a completely even tropical brown tone, lending the watch a warmth and individuality that can only develop over decades. Applied tritium hour markers and hands remain intact, adding depth and vintage character.

Cheap not worth the money
Color: Blue
You get what you pay for and most of these cheap watches from China that you get on Amazon aren’t worth the time you spent ordering them off the site. I bought like six of them as gifts and none of them lasted more than a month

Nice Patek Phillip replica!
Color: Rose gold, Color: Rose gold
Nice watch! Doesn't look cheap. Casual and office wear, both ok. Removing links was easy. Decent size, good on my wrist. These days smaller watches are in trend and it does fit the requirement. Color is fancy. In low light conditions it does get darker hues and it looks even better to me.
