Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34 mm – Reference 77450BA.GG.1361BA.01
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding, reference 77450BA.GG.1361BA.01, is a luminous fusion of tradition and avant‑garde design. Presented in a 34 mm 18‑carat yellow gold case and bracelet, both adorned with the brand’s signature “Frosted Gold” finish, this captivating piece is enhanced by a rare “crystal sand” dial, creating a radiant, monochromatic statement of elegance and craftsmanship.
Iconic Frosted Gold Technique
Crafted with the Florentine hammering method, each surface of the case and integrated bracelet shimmers with micro‑indentations that catch and scatter the light. This “diamond‑dust” finishing evokes the appearance of precious gemstones and infuses the watch with a subtle sparkle that retains the hand‑finished detailing Audemars Piguet is famous for.
Crystal Sand Dial: A Warm Glow
The dial is treated with a yellow-gold plated crystal sand finish—a textured, glitter‑like surface that bathes the face in warm sunlight tones. Applied white‑gold hour markers and luminescent Royal Oak hands stand out crisply against this golden canvas. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock ensures practical functionality aligned with refined aesthetics.
Elegant 34 mm Case Robust Build
This beautifully proportioned 34 mm octagonal case measures a slender 8.8 mm in thickness, offering both wrist presence and comfort. It’s framed by glare‑proofed sapphire crystals front and back, safeguarding the piece with 50 m water resistance—exceptional for finewatch design.
Reliable Calibre 5800 Movement
Beating at 4 Hz within the case is the ultra‑slim Calibre 5800, built on a Vaucher VMF 3000 base. This automatic movement offers a 50‑hour power reserve, 186 meticulously finished components, and 28 jewels. The exhibition caseback reveals a 22‑carat gold rotor and traditional Côtes de Genève finishing—an elegant nod to mechanical refinement.
