Marking the 50th anniversary of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 2022, this special edition reference blends the heritage of the model with contemporary refinements. The case is crafted in stainless steel and spans 37 mm in diameter, a modern yet wearable size. The characteristic octagonal bezel is set with 40 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.92 carats) elevating the sport-luxury aesthetics while retaining unmistakable Royal Oak DNA. The light blue dial bears the 'Grande Tapisserie' guilloche pattern with applied white-gold hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescence. A date window is traditionally positioned at 3 o’clock. Beating away beneath the dial is the newly developed automatic in-house Caliber 5900, offering a 60-hour power reserve. The solid gold oscillating weight, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, is engraved with '50-years' to make the watch recognizable as an anniversary model.
