Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady Automatic – Two-Tone Gold & Steel | Reference 8638SA

A Rare and Historic Lady Royal Oak from the 1970s

This vintage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady Automatic, Reference 8638SA, 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 in a striking combination of stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, this “SA” (Steel/Gold) execution is among the rarest and most desirable configurations. The case remains sharp and well-defined, preserving the iconic octagonal bezel with exposed screws and the integrated bracelet—a hallmark of Gérald Genta’s timeless design. The bracelet accommodates a wrist size of approximately 15.5–16 cm.

Powered by the Self-Winding Calibre 2062

Inside beats the compact yet robust Calibre 2062, a self-winding movement based on the LeCoultre ébauche, celebrated for its reliability and slim architecture. The movement has been recently serviced, ensuring excellent timekeeping and smooth performance.

Blue Dial with Tropical Aging

The original deep blue dial has aged gracefully, now turning tropical, with rich warm hues adding character and individuality. The applied luminous tritium hour markers and hands, intact and original, have developed a beautiful patina shifting toward a brown mustard tone, lending further vintage charm.

Pretty
Very nice simple jewelry box. My only issue is spacing to put necklaces is a bit tight, but there is plenty of room in this little guy. I put a lighter next to it, for size comparison.

Amazing Jewelry Travel Case
I bought this jewelry case for traveling on a cruise and I absolutely LOVE IT! When I purchased it I didn’t know if it would actually fit all the jewelry I wanted to bring but this box definitely impressed me! It fit all my regular jewelry plus more bc you know us woman love to coordinate with our outfits lol the case/box is sturdy! It didn’t break or even dent throughout my travels. It comes with different pieces to help organize and separate jewelry but it is removable if needed which I had to do bc one of my necklaces is really big. The case fit perfectly in my carry on luggage and didn’t take up much room at all which helped me a lot. I got the black case and I just love how simple and sleek it looks. This is definitely a must have if you need to travel with jewelry and are concerned about things getting damaged, this case keeps them safe and it’s definitely a great value for your money!
