Audemars Piguet 14790ST

Our database currently shows one confirmed sighting of the Audemars Piguet 14790ST: Spanish influencer Alex Rivière, photographed wearing a stainless steel example with a blue dial and the short indices characteristic of a third-series production run. While a single sighting makes it premature to draw broad conclusions about a celebrity demographic, Rivière's profile — a style-forward figure with a following built on considered taste rather than conspicuous consumption — fits the quiet, knowledgeable collector that this particular reference tends to attract. The 14790ST has historically sat outside the mainstream AP conversation, overshadowed by the 15202 and 15400 in collector forums, which means those who seek it out tend to know exactly what they are looking at.

On the secondary market, the Audemars Piguet 14790ST occupies an interesting position. Retail pricing during its production years made it accessible relative to larger Royal Oak references, but clean examples — particularly third-series pieces with short indices and original dials in blue or grey — have climbed steadily as collectors have come to appreciate the refinement of the later runs. Prices for well-preserved stainless steel examples regularly clear the $10,000–$15,000 range at reputable resellers, with exceptional condition pieces pushing higher. The reference was discontinued, so supply is fixed, and condition-dependent scarcity does the rest.

The 14790ST ran from 1992 until the mid-2000s and measures 36mm in stainless steel, housing a self-winding movement. Its revival in collector consciousness owes less to any single celebrity endorsement and more to the broader reassessment of mid-sized vintage and transitional Royal Oak references over the past decade.
