Audemars Piguet 14486ST Royal Oak 36MM SS Blue Dial Circa. 1987

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 14486ST.OO.0477ST.01 is a quintessential mid‑size model first introduced in 1988. Housed in a 36 mm stainless steel case, this variant is distinguished by its classic blue petite tapisserie dial, baton hands, and date function. Though modest in size, the mid‑size Royal Oak retains the iconic octagonal bezel with polished bevels and integrated bracelet that define the collection’s design DNA. Water resistant to approximately 50 meters, it balances elegance and practicality in everyday wear. Produced in limited numbers over roughly a decade, the 14486 is rare and highly sought after by collectors who appreciate its transitional place between the vintage 4100 and later full‑size references. Its restrained dimensions offer a versatile fit, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and those seeking a more understated Royal Oak presence. This reference stands as a subtle yet significant chapter in Royal Oak history, combining heritage, technical quality, and collector appeal. Excellent Condition with Audemars Piguet travel pouch and Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives dated 1987.
