It’s the 1960s, and a young Gerald Genta joined Bulova on his legendary journey through the pages of horology. Although he didn’t design his most iconic ‘Royal Oak’ until later in in his career (1972) while employed by Audemars Piguet, it didn’t stop Bulova from paying homage to their most famous designer a few years later when the craze for the steel-integrated sports watches began. We realize this is controversial by modern standards, never-mind that something like this could never happen today without finger-pointing and lawsuits, but as the price of the Audemars Piguet 5402 shoots well into six-figure territory, this Bulova homage features an automatic caliber, a tapisserie dial, and iconic great looks for a fraction of the price. Mechanical movement Bulova Oaks are tough to find but this model takes the meaning of rare to another level being plated in yellow gold and remaining in fantastic shape.
