Icon20 How to identify Mid-size Royal Oak References 4100, 14332, 14486, 14700 & 14790

Hi all, with the dramatic rise in popularity of the mid-size Royal Oak over the past number of years I wanted to share a high level visual checklist, that I use myself, to help identify the different models.

In this article you can find out how to identify the difference between references 4100, 14332, 14486, 14700 & 14790.

I hope you find it useful. All the best, Ben.

Great resource, very useful!

It’s been a really difficult area with not much written on. I struggled when buying my 4100, this would have helped a lot

Are date wheels commonly replaced during service? I saw a two-tone 14486 for sale that had a white date wheel instead of a gold-tone one.

Only if needed to be. You can pick up the correct gold date wheel relatively easily from trusted parts sellers on eBay and Instagram.
