There has always been a smaller, alternate offering to the ref.5402 'Jumbo'. Towards the end of the 80's the ref.14790 arrived on the scene, ultimately keeping its place in the Royal Oak line up for the next 3 decades until production ceased in the late 2000's. The case measures a modest 36mm compared to the Jumbo's 39mm however it wears larger due to the integrated lugs and bracelet. At 36mm and only 7.5mm thick it retains the classic Royal Oak proportions and could be seen as a scaled down 5402, also taking on a number of the same design cues. As with all Royal Oaks the model has the beveled and polished edges originally curated by Gerald Genta.
