The Royal Oak Model 14486 was launched in 1986 in three variants: steel, yellow gold, and two-tone steel-yellow gold. It was positioned as a unisex model and continued the 35 mm size from its predecessor, the 4100. The watch featured a caliber 2131, later evolving into Calibres 2150 and 2151 with improvements like independent date adjustment. Despite its 35 mm size, it was an exception in the Royal Oak collection, which typically featured 36 mm models between 1983 and 2003. A total of 1,932 units were produced, mainly sold between 1986 and 1996, with a few sold until 2005.
