The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding, reference 77452BC.ZZ.1365BC.01, is a stunning expression of haute joaillerie crafted in a refined 34 mm silhouette.

Snow-Set Brilliance Elegant White-Gold Case
The Royal Oak’s signature octagonal bezel, case, lugs, crown, and bracelet are meticulously pavé-set using the revered snow‑setting technique—placing diamonds of varying sizes in a textured, organic fashion that mimics freshly fallen snow. The white‑gold surfaces glow with approximately 1.557 carats on the case and bezel, 1.32 carats on the dial, and 3.709 carats on the bracelet, totaling over 6.5 carats of diamond brilliance.
Diamond-Paved Dial with Baguette Hour Markers
The dial is fully snow-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, highlighted by 13 baguette-cut diamond hour markers that add vertical accents and luminescent white-gold Royal Oak hands for enhanced legibility. The visual depth and texture pay homage to AP’s mastery of both gem-setting and dial artistry.
Powerful Inside: Calibre 5809
The ultra-slim Calibre 5809 powers this gem-set marvel, delivering hour, minute, and central seconds with a robust 50‑hour power reserve at 4 Hz frequency. Comprising 186 components and 28 jewels within a 4 mm-thick movement, it exemplifies technical excellence. A sapphire caseback reveals its refined Côtes de Genève finishing and a white-gold rotor.
