Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34 mm – Reference 77350CE.OO.1266CE.03.A
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34 mm, reference 77350CE.OO.1266CE.03.A, is a striking fusion of avant-garde materials and timeless design. This unisex luxury timepiece, featuring a sleek black ceramic case, bracelet and Grande Tapisserie dial, is punctuated with warm pink‑gold accents that elevate its sporty elegance into true haute horlogerie. As Audemars Piguet’s first complication-free full ceramic Royal Oak in a more compact size, this model offers a bold statement for collectors and trendsetters alike.
Innovative Black Ceramic Construction
Crafted entirely from high-grade black ceramic, the 34 mm case and matching bracelet showcase a harmonious mix of satin‑brushed and polished surfaces. This durable, lightweight material resists scratches yet retains the stunning finishes synonymous with AP’s heritage—no mean feat given ceramic’s machining difficulty. Rose-gold hexagonal screws accentuate the iconic octagonal bezel, offering a refined contrast.
Refined Grande Tapisserie Dial
The jet-black diagonal “Grande Tapisserie” dial is beautifully textured, adding depth and visual intrigue. Pink‑gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands—coated in luminescent material—ensure optimal readability while lending an unexpected warmth to the otherwise monochromatic palette. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock maintains clean aesthetics and everyday functionality.
Slim Profile Optimized Wearability
Measuring just 8.8 mm thick, this Royal Oak wraps elegantly around the wrist, with dimensions that suit a wide range of owners. The integrated ceramic bracelet fastens securely with a matching AP folding clasp. Water resistance of up to 50 m makes it suitable for daily wear, while the sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement within.
In-House Calibre 5800 Movement
Powering the watch 77350CE.OO.1266CE.03.A is Audemars Piguet’s ultra-slim Calibre 5800, beating at 4 Hz with a robust 50‑hour power reserve. The automatic movement, based on the acclaimed Vaucher VMF 3000 platform, offers central hours, minutes, seconds and date functions—all encased within a slim 4 mm profile. A 22K pink‑gold rotor and finely decorated bridges can be admired through the exhibition caseback.
Why 77350CE.OO.1266CE.03.A Stands Out

- Luxury detailing: pink-gold screws, hands and markers create a striking visual contrast.
- Robust and practical: scratch-resistant, watertight up to 50 m.
