Before creating Dimepiece, I first became acquainted with the Royal Oak in 2019, learning about it during my editorial stint at Sotheby’s. YouTube became my best friend (“How To Pronounce AUDEMARS PIGUET like a FRENCH Native Speaker”), and the Watches Department was gracious enough to let me try on various watches available at
link auction. I soon discovered the name Gerald Genta, the man behind the design.
