Under The Loupe
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 14470ST is a mid-size stainless steel wristwatch, part of the iconic Royal Oak collection. Renowned for its instantly recognizable design, the 14470ST offers a refined and versatile alternative to the larger Royal Oak models, making it highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate understated luxury.
The Royal Oak Legacy
Launched in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak revolutionized luxury watchmaking with its bold design by Gérald Genta. The original 5402ST “Jumbo” was the world’s first luxury sports watch in stainless steel, featuring an integrated bracelet, octagonal bezel, and a unique tapisserie dial.
The 14470ST’s Place in the Lineage
As demand grew for more wearable and versatile Royal Oak models, Audemars Piguet introduced a series of mid-size and smaller references. The 14470ST, produced from the early 1990s, was designed for those who wanted the Royal Oak’s distinctive look in a more compact size.
Collectability & Market Perception
The 14470ST is valued for its classic Royal Oak aesthetics in a more modest size, which is increasingly appreciated as trends shift toward vintage-inspired proportions. Its relatively limited production, quality movement, and enduring design make it a sought-after reference among collectors, especially as demand for mid-size Royal Oaks continues to rise.
