Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet unveils a new version of its 37 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding model, entirely crafted in 18-carat yellow gold and illuminated by a natural turquoise dial. Used by the Egyptian and Chinese civilisations more than 3,000 years ago, turquoise is among the world’s oldest stones reputed to have many spiritual benefits while bringing health, good luck and protection.
The first 37 mm Royal Oak variation in yellow gold since 2018, this model is equipped with the latest selfwinding hour, minute, seconds and date movement from the Manufacture, Calibre 5900, which first appeared in 2022 on certain 37 mm references. This movement combines a slim 3.9 mm thickness, a high 4Hz frequency and a 60-hour power reserve. The mechanism is visible through the sapphire caseback revealing the 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight along with the refined decorations adorning the components, such as the polished angles, vertical satin brushing, Côtes de Genève, circular graining and chamfering.
The new 37 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding model extends its creative heritage by combining the natural brilliance of turquoise with a case entirely crafted in yellow gold, giving life to a timepiece with a resolutely sunny personality and positive vibes.
