Audemars Piguet has unveiled its new "Royal Oak Joaillerie" collection. This collection elevates the geometric bracelet of the iconic "Royal Oak," which features an octagonal bezel and a gracefully connected case and bracelet, into high jewelry.
Audemars Piguet introduces the "Royal Oak Jewelry Collection."
On October 2, 2026, Audemars Piguet released its new "Royal Oak Joaillerie" collection. This collection inherits the spirit of the "Royal Oak" while elevating the iconic bracelet motif into a high jewelry masterpiece.
The Royal Oak is a luxurious sporty watch with numerous iconic design features. Its octagonal bezel, sharp, sporty yet elegant slim case, and integrated bracelet are instantly recognizable details. This iconic watch was born in 1972 under the design of jewelry and watch designer Gerald Genta. Later, in 1976, Audemars Piguet's in-house designer, Jacqueline Dimier, reinterpreted the Royal Oak for women, successfully refining its proportions and further highlighting the beauty of its multifaceted surface structure. This project established the Royal Oak as a "design language" that can evolve across materials, sizes, generations, and genders. Furthermore, in the 1990s, Emmanuel Guét, who worked with Dimier, further expanded the possibilities of its aesthetics with the introduction of the "Royal Oak Offshore" and "Royal Oak Jewelry" lines.
While this broad appeal has been evident, the Royal Oak has always possessed a jewelry-like sensibility from its very inception. The contrast created by the combination of satin and polished finishes on the case and bracelet gives stainless steel a value reminiscent of precious metals, while simultaneously creating a unique light reflection and brilliance that evokes the facets of a diamond. It is also noteworthy that the bracelet structure, composed of links that taper towards the buckle and studs, fuses the seemingly contradictory worlds of jewelry and sports watches. Reinterpreting these design codes, the Royal Oak Jewelry Collection was created as a diverse and expressive new design that accompanies the stories and special moments of the modern generation.
Ilaria Resta, CEO of Audemars Piguet, commented on the release of this jewelry collection as follows:
"As a bridge connecting the past and the future, the Royal Oak Jewelry Collection embodies Audemars Piguet's free spirit. Jewelry has always been an important part of the brand's history. We continue to explore this creative realm alongside our core business of watchmaking, leveraging our long-cultivated expertise. This fosters imagination, allows us to re-examine our brand codes, and further enriches our approach to creation and expression."
The Royal Oak Jewelry Collection has now focused on the bracelets of this iconic watch. They have prepared three lines—"Dream of Jewels," "Lizou Eclipse," and "Frosted Gold"—each sharing the same spirit as the collection's bracelets.
"Dream of Juu"
A cuff from the "Royal Oak High Jewelry" collection, crafted in 18K yellow gold. The sunray motif is adorned with diamonds, yellow and orange spessartite, and yellow, pink, and orange sapphires, creating a vibrant color reminiscent of spring in the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland. It fastens with the collection's signature octagonal 18K yellow gold Royal Oak buckle.

Dream of Joux reinterprets and expresses the multifaceted landscape of the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, where Audemars Piguet is based, through sophisticated gem setting. The frozen lakes of the Vallée de Joux, the clear night sky, and the motifs of flowers come to life in each one-of-a-kind cuff crafted from 18K white gold, 18K yellow gold, and 18K pink gold.
The pieces incorporate deep blues, vibrant greens, striking pinks, and sun-kissed hues. Depending on the product, carefully selected gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, spessartine garnets, tourmalines, amethysts, tsavorites, and topaz are used, and each piece boasts a unique and original design.

Lizoux Eclipse pays homage to the Vallée de Joux's important role in astronomical observation. It reinterprets the forest of Lizoux under a sky full of shadows, where the faint halo of a solar eclipse appears. The necklace and corresponding cuff, the first pieces to be released as symbolic pieces of this series, feature links and studs made of titanium with a black PVD coating. At the center is a striking sugarloaf emerald surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds. The emerald's conical facets are carefully polished to capture light from various angles and bring out its vibrant color to the fullest. Furthermore, the contrast between the satin and polished bevels on the links and studs, a hallmark of Audemars Piguet's manufacture, highlights the brilliance of the gemstone.

Finally, we introduce Frosted Gold. Based on the time-honored Florentine tradition, Frosted Gold is a metalworking technique developed in collaboration with jewelry designer Carolina Bucci. Created in 2016 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the women's Royal Oak, this finish emits a captivating sparkle. The "diamond dust" effect, created by delicately striking the surface of the precious metal with a diamond-tipped tool, is further enhanced by the mirror-polished studs and polished bevels, creating an endless reflection of light. Audemars Piguet has adopted this technique for this jewelry collection to capture the ever-changing expressions of light in the Vallée de Joux. All chokers and bracelets are equipped with a Royal Oak buckle made of 18K gold, each in harmony with the piece.
