Inside the case and visible through the sapphire case back beats the 29-jewel caliber 5900. The heart of the new Royal Oak 15550 family What also helps in the overall wrist feel of the 37mm Royal Oak is that the case back is now more integrated into the case. AP already made this bracelet in rose gold, but now the new steel models will also have this sleeker and slimmer bracelet. It also helps that the bracelet is actually thinner and lighter than the previous version. The shape of the first four links is now trapezoidal instead of parallel, resulting in a more elegant appearance. The bracelet also received a couple of tweaks. The result is a more visible distinction between polished and brushed surfaces, and that leads to a watch with more presence. What’s also new about the 37mm reference 15550 are the larger beveled surfaces on the top and the bottom of the watch. There are also versions with diamonds to meet all possible demands. The Royal Oak 37 comes in steel, pink gold, and a two-tone combination of pink gold and steel.

A nice little change is that the minute track sits on the Tapisserie itself and is no longer on a flange around the dial. The color in combination with the prominently textured Grande Tapisserie pattern on the dial bestows a great presence on what looks to me like the crown prince in the 2022 Royal Oak collection.Īnd if you don’t like blue, there are many other options available, from forest green to light gray and with either Petite Tapisserie or Grande Tapisserie dial patterns. That’s the original dial color of the Royal Oak developed by famous dial-maker Stern Frères.

The midsize shows large potential, especially the version outfitted with the Bleu Nuit dial. Yes, the new Royal Oak open-worked tourbillon is stunning and impressive, but the biggest surprise of the new collection - apart from the updated “Jumbo” of course - is the 37mm version. It’s a bit gimmicky perhaps, but also a very clever idea if you ask me.Īudemars Piguet Royal Oak 37 - The crown prince closes in on the throne

It will also always remind the wearer that this watch comes from a special year in horological history. It’s an open-worked oscillating mass showing “50 years” to commemorate the birth of the Royal Oak five decades ago. Since 2022 is a very special year for the Royal Oak, all new models produced this year will have a special rotor. The 2022 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak family - What’s in the line-up? But in the wake of the legend, AP also presents a slew of other Royal Oak models that prove the design is as fresh and relevant as ever. And that’s why Audemars Piguet launched an updated version of the Gérald Genta-designed watch that was first released in 1972. The ground-breaking Royal Oak is celebrating its 50th anniversary. There’s the revamped “Jumbo” of course, but the star player is supported by a wide range of capable teammates that all have their own special skills. And that’s exactly what it does by pitching more updated versions in the 2022 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch family. When the Nautilus forfeited, it left the court wide open for the Royal Oak to sweep in and grab the gold. In Le Brassus, Audemars Piguet came up with something even better - updating its winning team.
