More information
In 1980, three Royal Oak models were fitted with quartz Calibre 2502. This microelectronic marvel developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre was distinguished by its modest 17.2 x 13.5 x 1.98 mm measurements making it possible to introduce two new sizes.
In three years, the Royal Oak 30 mm was produced as five different models (6008 and 6013 in 1980, 6020 in 1981, 6033 and 6035 in 1982). The even smaller Royal Oak 26 mm heralded the “Mini Royal Oak” chapter, the first models of which (6012 in 1980; 6007 and 6019 in 1981 and 6027 and 6034 in 1982) prefigured the 20 mm Royal Oak introduced in 1997 (Model 67075). These variations were all dedicated to women. From then on, most of ladies’ Royal Oak watches were equipped with a quartz movement.
