Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding

Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to launch two new Royal Oak Selfwinding models. Crafted in yellow gold and available in 37mm and 41mm sizes with matching yellow gold bracelets, these two timepieces come alive with malachite stone dials.

Green malachite is prized for its vivid green colour and unique banded patterns, both of which arise from its crystalline structure. The subtle variations in hue are due to the fluctuations in the chemical composition– specifically, the copper content–where a higher concentration of copper results in a deeper green, while lower amounts produce a lighter shade. The striking banded patterns themselves are formed during the crystallisation process, making each malachite dial visually unique.

These models follow on from the previous versions with turquoise stone dials launched in 2023. These new stone dials are adorned with yellow gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating that indicate the hours, minutes and central seconds. In terms of their movements, the smaller 37mm model is powered by the Calibre 5909, while the larger 41mm model is equipped with the Calibre 4309. Both calibres are performant mechanical movements that combine age-old skills with ever-evolving technology and underscore Audemars Piguet’s relentless pursuit of innovation in both form and function.
