2024 Audemars Piguet Watch Releases
It used to be the norm for watch brands to release one big batch of watches during the year. However, it’s becoming more common for watchmakers to introduce models throughout the year, and Audemars Piguet is fully leaning into that strategy. AP has announced a few major drops of many watches in 2024, accompanied by smaller announcements every month or so. This has resulted in a massive batch of fresh AP watches just this year. From never-before-seen materials and limited edition collaborations to fresh iterations of fan favorites, let’s get to all the 2024 Audemars Piguet watch releases, including specs and prices.
2024 AP Royal Oak Releases
As Audemars Piguet’s hero collection, it comes as no surprise that the Royal Oak lineup welcomed the most new models from the brand.
Royal Oak Gem-Set Selfwinding 41mm
Flaunting its creative gem-setting techniques, Audemars Piguet released a pair of white gold Royal Oak 41 models blanketed in 861 baguette-cut stones. The first, in shades of green, brown, and black, offers up a camouflage pattern whereas the blue version leans into a graduated motif.
Audemars Piguet gemologist, Samira Ribeaucourt explains: “To create a harmonious camouflage effect that could be repeated throughout the watch, we carefully selected a variety of gemstones, including some rarely used in the watchmaking industry. The use of tsavorites, smoky quartz, and black sapphires for the green timepiece and Swiss blue topaz combined with blue sapphires for the blue version allowed us to enrich the color palette and achieve more subtle gradations. Finally, the invisible setting enhances the tone of each gemstone, giving the two timepieces volume and depth.”

Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 37mm
Frosted gold has been a favorite decorative technique of Audemars Piguet over the last few years, cherished for its textured hammered finish and shimmery effect. One version that joined the lineup in 2024 is the Royal Oak Selfwinding Frosted Gold 37mm in yellow gold.
The watch includes a vintage-inspired smoked gold dial on a flat surface rather than a patterned tapisserie motif that’s typical of a Royal Oak watch. The dial includes a date window at 3 o’clock, and the back of the watch shows us the new-gen Caliber 5900 automatic movement that drives the Royal Oak Selfwinding 37mm models.

Royal Oak Gem-Set Selfwinding 37mm
No surprises here, but 2024 Audemars Piguet watch releases include a solid variety of gem-set models. For instance, AP unveiled a pair of lavish Royal Oak Selfwinding 37mm watches, one in white gold with diamonds and the other in pink gold with diamonds and sapphires.
The case and bezel of the white gold gem-set Royal Oak Selfwinding 37mm includes 122 brilliant-cut diamonds, in addition to 40 brilliant-cut diamonds across the four studs that span across the case and strap. This version is combined with a light green Grande Tapisserie dial and a pearly green alligator strap.
Conversely, the case of the pink gold gem-set Royal Oak Selfwinding 37mm piece includes 82 brilliant-cut diamonds (and 40 brilliant-cut diamonds on the studs) while the bezel is set with 40 brilliant-cut graded blue sapphires. Complementing the bezel are the light blue Grande Tapisserie dial and the light blue pearly alligator strap.

Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm
Another 2024 Audemars Piguet watch release is the duo of new Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm watches, one in pink gold and the other in two-tone steel and pink gold.
The two-tone variant is furnished with a gray dial whereas the full gold version flaunts a vivid pink dial. Both versions run on the automatic Caliber 5800 movement, which offers about 50 hours of power reserve.

Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34mm
For 2024, Audemars Piguet also expanded its Frosted Gold Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm collection with two new models — one in yellow gold and one in white gold — both furnished with special “Crystal Sand” finished dials.
Between the hammered finish of the case and bracelet and the crystal-like surface of the dial, these monochromatic Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34mm watches lean on texture and light for contrast rather than color. As is customary for 34mm Royal Oaks since 2020, this pair of AP watches runs on Caliber 5800, a self-winding movement with 50 hours of power reserve.

Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold Quartz
We’ve said it many times before but small watches are having a moment — and in 2024, Audemars Piguet was more than happy to oblige with a new set of “Mini Oak” watches in frosted gold. Available in yellow, white, and rose gold, these small Royal Oak watches measure a dainty 23mm in diameter, which is only slightly larger than the 1997 20mm Royal Oaks the new models drew inspiration from.
The Mini Oak watches may be petite in proportions but they still pack a punch thanks to their hammered frosted gold finish that mimics diamond dust. The time-only dials, decorated with the famed Petite Tapisserie hobnail pattern, are rendered in a shade to match the cases and bracelets. Inside the 2024 Mini Oak watches are quartz movements with a seven-year battery life.

Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph
A new variation of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm joined the catalog, this time in 18k yellow gold. Along with the yellow gold case and bracelet, Audemars Piguet opted to use a yellow gold-toned Grand Tapisserie dial that darkens to black at the periphery. We’ve seen this dial execution before on another yellow gold watch by AP — the 50th anniversary “Jumbo” — and it’s a great look on a solid gold timepiece. The dial includes a trio of gold-toned counters, a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock, and 18k yellow gold hands and hour markers.
The sapphire caseback shows off the automatic Caliber 4401 flyback chronograph movement powering the piece, ticking at a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour and supplying 70 hours of power reserve.

Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition
No stranger to collaborations, Audemars Piguet has teamed up with the most high-profile celebrity watch collector —musician John Mayer. The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition is fashioned from 18k white gold and houses a deep blue textured dial that the brand calls “Crystal Sky.” The captivating dial features sharp angles and facets to mimic crystals, which were formed via a metal deposition process known as electroforming.
Aside from the new dial pattern, John Mayer also added other subtle modifications such as replacing the customary red “31” on the date indication with a white one that’s also smaller and stepped. He also opted for a light blue date pointer with the idea that it could fade into the background when not needed but also be easy to spot when necessary.
Like preceding Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watches, the “John Mayer” runs on the extra-thin Caliber 5134 automatic movement, which debuted in 2015 but is based on the legendary Caliber 2120/2800 released in 1978. The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition will be the swan song of Caliber 5134. John Mayer has also been bestowed the “Creative Conduit” title by Audemars Piguet, so expect more creations from the mind of the musician in the near future.

Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon
A pair of new Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon variants were added to the AP catalog, one in pink gold and the other in stainless steel. The pink gold model is paired with a sandblasted gray dial whereas the steel version is fitted with a smoked burgundy sunburst dial.
Both versions sport 41mm cases and matching integrated bracelets. The star of the dial is the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, accompanied only by the duo of time-telling hands at the center. At the heart of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon watches is the automatic Calibre 2950 movement, visible through the sapphire caseback.

Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked Sand Gold
Audemars Piguet debuted a brand new 18k gold alloy called Sand Gold, which sits somewhere between white and pink gold and changes color depending on how the light hits it. According to the brand, Sand Gold is also fade-resistant. AP introduced the new material on the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked 41, complete with matching sand-gold-toned bridges and mainplate in the visible movement. That movement is Caliber 2972, introduced in 2022 for the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary.
The open-worked dial is home to a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, accompanied by white gold hour and minute hands at the center and white gold hour markers along the sand-gold-toned rehaut. The 41mm sand gold case is paired with a matching sand gold integrated bracelet.

Audemars Piguet rounded out its Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin (RD#3) collection with a new 18k white gold version in 37mm. The white gold case is further embellished with baguette-cut diamonds while the Petite Tapisserie dial is rendered in smoked blue and punctuated with diamond hour markers and a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
This is the third iteration of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin (RD#3), the first two (one in 39mm and the other in 37mm) were made in steel and released to celebrate the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary. Like the others, the white gold Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin (RD#3) runs on the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 2968, which measures a mere 3.4mm thick.

Like its predecessors, the white gold Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked features a 39mm case, topped with the signature octagonal bezel and paired with the famed integrated AP bracelet. The skeletonized dial provides a view of the Caliber 7124 automatic movement beating away inside the watch, treated in different shades of anthracite grey to retain the sleek monochromatic tone of the watch while also providing appealing contrasts.

Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked 41mm
Three new references join the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked 41 collection in 2024, in stainless steel, black ceramic, and 18k yellow gold. Regardless of the case material, what’s front and center is the Caliber 3132, flaunting its stunning open-worked architecture.
The steel and black ceramic versions include a new pink gold movement whereas the yellow gold model houses an anthracite grey one. The resulting effect is a very cool take on the two-tone timepiece.

2024 AP Royal Oak Offshore Releases
The beefier Royal Oak Offshore collection also debuted a few new models for 2024, including some unexpected non-chronograph versions.
Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 41mm
If you’re familiar with Royal Oak Offshore models, you’ll know that the vast majority of them are chronographs. On rare occasions, such as this model that’s part of the 2024 Audemars Piguet watch releases, AP will introduce a non-chronograph version. Meet the time-and-date Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding in stainless steel and blue rubber.
The 43mm steel case is crowned with a blue rubber-coated octagonal bezel, which matches the blue rubber strap beautifully (an additional black rubber strap accompanies the watch). The color theme continues with the smoked blue Méga Tapisserie dial, home to the trio of hands at the center and a color-matched date window at 3 o’clock. There are also resigned crown guards that are more shapely than previous versions. The sapphire caseback reveals the automatic Caliber 4302 powering the new Royal Oak Offshore.

Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 37mm
Accompanying the larger non-chronograph Offshore is the more compact Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 37, featuring a grey rubber-clad bezel paired with an 18k pink gold case and a rhodium and ivory guilloché dial in the signature Grand Tapisserie pattern. A date window sits at 3 o’clock, alongside pink-gold hour markers and trapezoidal hands. The grey inner bezel blends seamlessly into the overall design for a polished, cohesive look.
The watch comes with a grey rubber strap that has a unique mosaic texture, reminiscent of the one featured on the Royal Oak Offshore Music Edition. With the quick interchangeability system, the strap can be swapped for a black rubber alternative with a matching mosaic effect. The sapphire caseback reveals the Caliber 5900 movement, an automatic 4 Hz engine launched in 2022, delivering a 60-hour power reserve.

Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph
Not forgetting the chronograph complication, Audemars Piguet also released the stainless steel Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43mm. On top of its steel case is a matching steel bezel — the only steel bezel option in the current ROO 43mm collection, so far. There are also black ceramic pushers and a winding crown.
The smoked bronze Méga Tapisserie dial is said to be inspired by Habanos cigars; three black subdials with white accents sit on the textured dial, matching the black-and-white tachymeter scale on the inner bezel. The date window is positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. The chronograph is paired with a brown alligator leather strap, finished with a hand-applied Oxford patina; however, it also comes with an interchangeable black rubber strap for a more casual look. Powering this timepiece is the Caliber 4401, a 4 Hz movement featuring a vertical clutch and column wheel, along with a flyback function, delivering a 70-hour power reserve.

2024 AP Royal Oak Concept Release
The Royal Oak Concept is Audemars Piguet’s most advanced collection, featuring pieces with cutting-edge materials, complicated movements, and just as importantly, a modern design approach to the classic Royal Oak.
AP x KAWS Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Companion”
As mentioned, Audemars Piguet loves a collab. And New York-based artist KAWS was tapped by the watchmaker to work on a piece together. The result was the 2024 introduction of the limited edition AP x KAWS Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Companion,” named after the artist’s famous character. Companion, which is said to be a dark interpretation of Mickey Mouse with a skull and crossbones-shaped head, x eyes, and gloved hands, is front and center on the dial. To make space for the titanium-crafted Companion, AP opted to remove the traditional center hands and instead go with a peripheral time display where the hour and minute hands rotate around the rim of the movement and dial. These hands move via two visible, superimposed gear wheels, which are in turn driven by pinions and guided by rollers. This is the first time Audemars Piguet has used this type of time display, but it certainly won’t be the last. The tourbillon sits at the traditional 6 o’clock position, where Companion’s chest would be.
Like the mini figurine, the 43mm Concept case is also made of titanium, paired with a dark gray calfskin leather strap, culminating in a sleek monochromatic look. The AP x KAWS watch is limited to only 250 pieces and is powered by the new Caliber 2979 peripheral hour and minute hand-wound movement. This 2024 Audemars Piguet watch release will undoubtedly be a hot item in the collector’s market.

Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT
Audemars Piguet expands its Royal Oak Concept line with the Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date, featuring the brand’s signature innovation in materials: forged carbon. Audemars Piguet first introduced forged carbon to the watchmaking world in 2007, and this latest model takes it a step further with Chroma Forged Technology (CFT), which incorporates colorful fibers into the case for a striking visual effect. The 44mm case, paired with a black ceramic bezel and pushers, highlights the brand’s avant-garde design approach. The open-worked dial showcases a large date at 12 o’clock, split-seconds chronograph, and GMT functions, creating a perfect balance of aesthetics and utility. What’s more, the blue pigments weaving through the material are luminous, resulting in a super cool effect in the dark.
Inside, the self-winding Caliber 4407 drives the timepiece, equipped with a column-wheel mechanism for the split-seconds chronograph and a 70-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, revealing the intricate craftsmanship Audemars Piguet is known for. Paired with a textured black rubber strap, this watch continues the brand’s legacy of pushing the limits of watchmaking through advanced materials and engineering, solidifying its place in the Royal Oak Concept collection.

2024 AP Code 11.59 Releases

The 41mm case pairs an 18k white gold bezel with a black ceramic middle case, offering a mix of finishes, including satin-brushed, polished, and sandblasted textures.

Other 2024 Audemars Piguet Releases
In addition to new Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, Royal Oak Concept, and Code 11.59 watches, Audemars Piguet also announced some cutting-edge materials and a vintage revival watch.
Chroma Ceramic and Chroma Gold
Among all the new watches Audemars Piguet has released in 2024, the watchmaker has also announced some innovative materials. For instance, in March, AP unveiled Chroma Ceramic with a multi-colored camouflage pattern, created via the latest Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technology.
A few months later, Chroma Gold was added to AP’s slate of innovative materials, combining various shades of gold into one pattern.
With the announcement of these cutting-edge materials, it’s only a matter of time before AP will add watches crafted from Chroma Ceramic and Chroma Gold to its collection.
[RE]Master02
In what the brand calls a “Tribute to Brutalism,” the unconventional [RE]Master02 watch launched in 2024 is inspired by the reference 5159BA from 1960, of which only seven examples were made. As the number two in the name suggests, this is the second reinterpretation of a vintage Audemars Piguet watch to join the brand’s modern catalog; the first was the 2020 [RE]Master01 based on a chronograph from 1943.

Limited to 250 pieces and sporting a 41mm asymmetrical 41mm rectangular case in Sand Gold, the [RE]Master02 features a dial in the blue color dubbed “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” — the same dark blue to black shade iconic to the first Royal Oak from the 1970s. The distinctive parted dial is segmented into 12 triangles, decorated with a linear satin finish and home to a pair of hands for the hours and minutes. The 2024 Audemars Piguet [RE]Master02 runs on the 52-hour power reserve Caliber 7129 automatic movement, visible from the caseback.
