Designed by Gérald Genta, it brought together industrial design, integrated construction, and high finishing in a way that felt entirely new. The reference 14790 represents the mid-size expression of that idea, produced during a period when the Royal Oak was evolving quietly rather than dramatically. In yellow gold, it adds another dimension—transforming what began as a steel sports watch into something warmer, more expressive, and unmistakably luxurious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Reference Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 14790BA stands out for its proportions and execution. At 36mm, it reflects an era when the Royal Oak was still offered in more compact sizes, giving it a different kind of balance compared to modern references. The champagne “Petite Tapisserie” dial is central to its character, with its finely textured pattern catching light in a way that gives the watch depth without relying on contrast. The applied yellow gold baton markers and date at 3 maintain the clarity that defines the Royal Oak, while the integrated bracelet reinforces the design’s cohesion. Inside, the automatic calibre 2225 provides reliable performance and aligns with the slim profile expected of the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the Wrist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 36mm, the 14790BA wears with elegance rather than presence. The proportions feel refined and balanced, especially on the integrated yellow gold bracelet, which distributes weight evenly across the wrist. The watch has a noticeable heft due to the solid gold construction, but the slim case keeps it comfortable. On the wrist, it feels cohesive—case and bracelet flowing as a single piece—while the champagne dial adds warmth and a subtle richness that changes with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Transparency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example features a 36mm 18K yellow gold case with champagne “Petite Tapisserie” dial, applied yellow gold baton hour markers, and date display at 3 o’clock. It is fitted to an integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet with folding clasp and powered by the automatic Audemars Piguet calibre 2225 with approximately 40 hours of power reserve. As always, details regarding condition, bracelet stretch, service history, and set completeness should be communicated clearly and only on the basis of confirmed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Belongs in a Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 14790BA belongs in a collection that values both design history and variation within iconic models. It offers the Royal Oak in a more compact, classical proportion, while the yellow gold construction gives it a different personality from its steel counterparts. For collectors who appreciate earlier Royal Oaks and the subtleties between generations, it represents a particularly thoughtful and wearable reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Royal Oak 14790BA demonstrates how a design as strong as the Royal Oak can take on entirely different character through proportion and material. In yellow gold with a champagne dial, it feels warm, refined, and quietly confident—an elegant interpretation of one of watchmaking’s most influential designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"167\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 mm\u003cbr data-end=\"176\" data-start=\"173\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"194\" data-start=\"176\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"194\" data-start=\"176\"\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003cbr data-end=\"213\" data-start=\"210\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"222\" data-start=\"213\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"222\" data-start=\"213\"\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne “Petite Tapisserie” Dial with Applied Yellow Gold Baton Hour Markers and Date at 3 o’clock\u003cbr data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"326\" data-start=\"323\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"339\" data-start=\"326\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"339\" data-start=\"326\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated 18K Yellow Gold Bracelet with Folding Clasp\u003cbr data-end=\"397\" data-start=\"394\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"415\" data-start=\"397\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"415\" data-start=\"397\"\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 40 Hours\u003cbr data-end=\"435\" data-start=\"432\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"448\" data-start=\"435\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"448\" data-start=\"435\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic (Calibre 2225)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eShipments are delivered under Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) terms, with duties and taxes payable by the recipient.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"TimeTells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52809858711852,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/4982\/6348\/files\/14790BA-1.jpg?v=1775011054","url":"https:\/\/www.timetells.shop\/products\/audemars-piguet-royal-oak-14790ba-champagne-tapisserie-dial","provider":"TimeTells","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
