One of the finest watch manufacturers on the globe, Audemars Piguet, is still overseen by the founding families from which the company draws its name. Since 1875, they have been responsible for many firsts in the watch making world. They have delicately crafted not only timeless masterpieces, but sporty classics as well, making them known worldwide for one-of-a-kind creations.

Now, Audemars Piguet is celebrating their 40th anniversary of their Royal Oak Collection, and to mark their milestone, they are launching the publications of a 300 page book on the history of this renowned model. The publication is timed to coincide with the launch of the 40th anniversary exhibition that will debut today, here in New York City at the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Avenue). Over 100 signature timepieces are set to be on display throughout the exhibition.
