The Classic Royal Oak for Ladies!
In 1976, Audemars Piguet presented the 8638 model. A smaller version of the reference 5402 introduced in 1972, it was aimed at a female clientele. Like its big brother, the small 29mm ladies' model was initially only available in steel and was equipped with the automatic caliber 2026. The reference 8638 is therefore the version of the original RO Jumbo that was only 10 mm smaller. By 1978, versions in bi-color, yellow gold and white gold were also produced.
Our 8638 presented here dates from around 1978 and has the rare “Royal Oak II” lettering on the case lid. In total, only around 1400 of this reference were produced.
The dial has developed a wonderful brown/greyish patina over the decades. The dial is authentic from the period. The case itself is in good condition with signs of wear on the bezel ring and on the flanks.
The strap also has signs of wear and stretching. The hands were renewed once during an earlier service and now have a newer luminous coating.
Functionally and technically, the watch is flawless thanks to our service.
The bracelet circumference is approx. 16.5 cm.
The watch has been fully serviced by our workshop and comes with a 1-year guarantee.
