Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm Frosted Gold
Don’t think because Audemars Piguet has already presented various new models this year that they have nothing left to show. Actually, far from that, as today the brand is releasing once again multiple new watches. And some are pretty spectacular indeed. Earlier this year, Audemars Piguet launched a new version of its Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph, the classic model with a new automatic movement, based on the calibre launched in Code 11.59.

The watch has not been as consistent during its lifespan as some of the big names, though, but it came back strong in 2017 in a historically relevant shape. We’ve seen many attractive editions since then, but the latest one, an ice-blue Laureato Chronograph, strikes hard.Looking at our past articles covering the Laureato collection of Girard-Perregaux, you’ll find dozens of variants, ranging from classic time-and-date in a masculine size to more compact editions, all the way up to high-end models and, regarding today’s mat
