Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 56175SA - Two-Tone Grey Tapisserie Dial

Trade In
Details
A Pure Expression Of Genta's Design
The Royal Oak is a foundational piece of modern watchmaking, and this reference 56175SA carries all the essential design codes that made it a legend. The octagonal bezel, the integrated bracelet, and the signature tapisserie dial are all present in a clean 33mm format. The two-tone execution in steel and 18k yellow gold was a defining look for this era, blending the industrial feel of the original with a touch of classic luxury. It is a pure take on one of the most important watch designs of the 20th century.
The Refined Mid-Size Configuration
This example stands out for its specific configuration. The 33mm case offers a different wearing experience from the larger models, fitting a wider range of wrists with a more understated presence. Its quartz movement provides exceptional accuracy and grab-and-go reliability, a practical advantage for anyone who rotates through a collection. The combination of steel and gold gives it a distinct character that feels both of its time and perfectly relevant today.
Honest Wear On An Iconic Form
The watch is in good to fair overall condition, with scratches present on the case, bezel, and bracelet consistent with regular wear. The case appears unpolished, retaining its sharp factory geometry. The grey tapisserie dial is in good condition, and the crystal is clean. It presents as a watch that has been worn and enjoyed, not kept in a safe. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Entry To A Legend
This is the right watch for someone who wants the undeniable look and feel of a Royal Oak without the cost or maintenance of a larger automatic reference. The mid-size case is classic and wears exceptionally well. The two-tone aesthetic is confident and versatile, pairing the sportiness of steel with the warmth of gold. It is the ideal way to own a piece of Gérald Genta's legacy that is both iconic and immensely practical.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
