The legacy of AP’s Royal Oak collection dates back to the 6th of
September 1651 when Oliver Cromwell's troops pursued King
Charles II, the future king of England, Scotland and Ireland. To
escape them, he took refuge in the branches of an oak tree.The tree
became the Royal Oak and a symbol of power and protection. In
commemoration of this historical event, eight ships of the British
Royal Navy took the name of HMS Royal Oak between 1664 and
1939. Gérald Genta took inspiration from one of them which were
built in 1862. This battleship was reinforced with steel plates, had
