Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ceramic 34mm New Release

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm Black Ceramic (Ref. 77350CE.OO.1266CE.01) was officially reviewed, providing detailed hands-on impressions and pricing information.
• Despite its 34mm diameter, some collectors expressed a personal interest in wearing the black ceramic Royal Oak, challenging the traditional perception of smaller sizes as exclusively feminine.
• There's a strong sentiment that not all special watches need to be 39mm or larger, and that the 34mm ceramic model could appeal to a broader audience, including those who appreciate smaller case sizes.
• The black ceramic Royal Oak 34mm was immediately recognized as a highly desirable 'ladies watch' by some, with orders placed for partners, highlighting its aesthetic appeal and material innovation.
• Conversely, some members felt the black ceramic and dial combination leaned towards a masculine aesthetic, suggesting that a 41mm version would be stunning and more appropriate for men.
