The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding reference 77450ST.OO.1361ST.02 is a contemporary luxury sports watch featuring a 34mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 8.8mm. This model maintains the collection’s iconic aesthetic with an octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal white gold screws and an integrated stainless steel bracelet with a refined taper and an AP folding clasp. The silver-toned dial is decorated with the signature Grande Tapisserie pattern and features white gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands, both treated with a luminescent coating for enhanced legibility. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a transparent sapphire caseback reveals the internal mechanics.
The timepiece is powered by the self-winding Calibre 5800, which provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz. Its primary complications include centered hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a date display window positioned at 3 o’clock. Designed for versatile wear, the case is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for short periods of recreational swimming but not for diving.
General reviews of this reference often highlight its successful adaptation of the classic Royal Oak design into a more compact and wearable format. It is frequently praised for its high-level finishing, particularly the interplay between satin-brushed and polished surfaces on the case and bracelet. Enthusiasts often note that while it is marketed as a smaller model, it retains the significant wrist presence characteristic of the Royal Oak line. The updated movement and the transition to an applied white gold logo are also cited as positive modern refinements that increase the watch’s overall sense of luxury and technical value.
