Audemars Piguet’s $12 Million Rainbow Royal Oak Collection Finally Spotted In The Wild

Audemars Piguet has made some pretty crazy Royal Oaks over the years… But this 10-piece, multi-coloured, multi-million-dollar collection might just be the most mental release the Swiss brand has ever come up with.

Last year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak – the world’s first luxury sports watch and a bona fide design icon – Audemars Piguet blessed us with a bevy of interesting Royal Oak novelties, including an eye-catching Perpetual Calendar in blue ceramic and the RD#3, the first Royal Oak “Jumbo” in history to be equipped with a self-winding flying tourbillon.

They also unveiled a ridiculous reinterpretation of the already very bougie ‘rainbow’ Royal Oak. Rather than just having one watch with rainbow-graduated gems, AP thought they’d go one further and release two sets of 10 watches where each individual watch is fully decorated with a single gemstone in a vivid red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink or orange hue so as to form a rainbow when set side by side.

Valued at over $12 million USD each, these two sets – one in 37mm and one in 41mm – rank as easily one of the most ridiculous creations Audemars Piguet has ever come up with.

Being that they only made two sets, too (and that it’s hard to imagine who would be the sort of person to buy a set of 10 rainbow Royal Oaks), most watch fans thought these pieces would never see the light of day. They’re the sort of thing that makes an exciting press release, but not something you’d see in the wild.

Well, how wrong we were. Now, in 2023, one of the two sets has finally been photographed – and it’s just as ridiculous as you might have imagined.

Well-known watch collector @theswisscaveau – who already drew plenty of eyeballs on social media over the weekend after he craned a Ferrari F40 onto a yacht for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix – revealed that he’s acquired one of the two sets of rainbow APs (the 41mm set, specifically) showing them off to the world at the glamorous motor-racing event.

Honestly, if there was ever the place to show off a 10-piece set of rainbow Royal Oaks, it’d be the Monaco Grand Prix.

Created in collaboration with Salanitro, one of the world’s best gem-setters, these 10 watches are crafted from 18ct white gold and feature rubies, emeralds, blue sapphires, tanzanites, yellow chrysoberyls, pink tourmalines, amethysts, blue topaz, orange spessartites and tsavorites respectively.

It’s hard to overstate just how impressive it is to source and cut gems like this. As AP themselves put it, “finding the right stones, colours and contrasts, while responding to [our] strict criteria for colour, clarity and quality, was a crucial step in the design of the rainbow sets and no easy task for timepieces covered with 861 gems of the same hue (ranging between ~30 and ~47 carats per watch).”

audemarspiguet remembers the celebrity-heavy Offshore craze of the mid 2000s with the Royal Oak Offshore “End of Days” 43 mm. Inspired by the original famously worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1999 film, the new edition combines high-contrast black and yellow livery with an all-ceramic case

Το συγκεκριμένο ρολόι είναι υπέροχο, αλλά όχι σ' αυτό το χρώμα. Μ' αυτό το χρώμα, είναι μνημείο νεοπλουτισμού, εκκεντρικότητας, σνομπισμού, κακογουστιάς. Φυσικά κατά την άποψή μου. 

Δε μπορώ να πω ότι μου άρεσε. παραείναι...

Αυτά τέκνον μου, δεν τα βλέπεις από φωτό. Χάνουν.

Αν το δείς στο φυσικό του, απλώς, ΔΕΝ μπορείς να ξεκολλήσεις τα μάτια σου από πάνω του. Ατυχώς για τις πλατιές λαϊκές μάζες. 

First Yellow Royal Oak with a Natural Turquoise Dial

For the first time, the 37 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-winding watch combines an 18-carat yellow gold case and bracelet with a natural turquoise dial.

This is the first 37mm Royal Oak variation in yellow gold since 2018. The case, bezel and integrated bracelet feature the Manufacture’s trademark touch in terms of hand-finishing with alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces performed by the artisans in Le Brassus.

The blue shade of the natural turquoise dial strikes a contrast with the yellow gold hands and hour-markers featuring a luminescent coating enabling optimal readability in the dark.

The turquoise is embellished by the polished yellow gold applique bearing the “Audemars Piguet” signature, which has been affixed to the dial with tiny feet specially designed to fit the thickness of the stone. The date window in the same colour as the stone ensures pleasing aesthetic harmony.

 This new reference also showcases the design evolution that marked the Audemars Piguet Royal Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary by reinforcing its ergonomics as well as its visual impact. The corresponding developments visible on this 37 mm model include larger chamfers, trapeze-shaped first links on the tapering bracelet showing a pronounced decrease in thickness, along with a sapphire caseback slightly more integrated into the case middle.

Audemars Piguet Calibre 5900
This Royal Oak model is equipped with the Calibre 5900, which first appeared in 2022 on certain 37 mm references. This movement combines a slim 3.9 mm thickness, a high 4Hz frequency and a 60-hour power reserve.

This self-winding mechanical movement is visible through the sapphire caseback revealing the 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight along with the refined decorations adorning the components, such as the polished angles, vertical satin brushing, Côtes de Genève, circular graining and chamfering.
