Audemars Piguet – Royal Oak – Silver & Gold Dial – 77350CB – 2026

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 77350CB is a striking reimagining of Gérald Genta’s iconic octagonal design in white ceramic — a material choice that brings a contemporary lightness and technical sophistication to one of horology’s most enduring silhouettes. At 34mm, this is the Royal Oak at an elegantly considered scale, equally compelling as a precision timepiece and a refined jewellery proposition.

The 34mm white ceramic case is both visually distinctive and practically superior — virtually scratch-proof, hypoallergenic, and retaining its bright finish indefinitely. The eight-sided bezel with its signature exposed hexagonal screws remains immediately recognisable, here rendered in white ceramic for a coherent, monolithic aesthetic that is softened beautifully by rose gold accents throughout. Water resistance is rated to 50 metres.

The silver-toned dial carries the Royal Oak’s signature “Grande Tapisserie” pattern — the finely executed basket-weave texture that has defined the collection since 1972 and rewards close inspection with a depth that photography rarely captures fully. Pink gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating provide legibility without compromising the dial’s inherent elegance. The date window sits discreetly at three o’clock.

The white ceramic bracelet is finished with an AP folding clasp in blackened polished steel — a considered contrast detail that reinforces the rose gold accents present on the dial and adds a subtle complexity to the overall composition.

Power comes from the Calibre 5800 — AP’s self-winding manufacture movement operating at 28,800 vph, delivering a 50-hour power reserve across 186 components. The movement provides hours, minutes, centre seconds, and date.

The 77350CB is the Royal Oak for those who want the collection’s unimpeachable design credentials in a material that genuinely advances the brief — refined, technically accomplished, and entirely distinctive.
