Audemars Piguet made a big splash in early 2024 by releasing an enormous batch of new watches including Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and Code 11.59 pieces. The brand followed it up with another drop of new timepieces in the middle of the year. From never-before-seen materials and limited edition collaborations to fresh iterations of some fan favorites, let’s get to all the 2024 Audemars Piguet watch releases.

Six New Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Watches Now In Steel
New Royal Oak Offshore in Full Ceramic
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 (more on AP’s proprietary Sand Gold material further down this article), 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.

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 is 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 they’re inspired by.
The Mini Oak watches may be petite in proportions but they still pack a punch thanks to their frosted gold finish, characterized by an intricate hammered surface that mimics diamond dust. The time-only dials, which are 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 Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34mm
For 2024, Audemars Piguet is also expanding 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 colors. 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 Double Balance Wheel Openworked 37mm
A pair of new references joins the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked 37mm lineup, one in white gold with a light blue inner bezel and a one in pink gold with a purple inner bezel. The dials offer a view of the striking open-worked Caliber 3132 inside the watches.
In addition to the case-matching integrated bracelets, the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models also come with an additional leather strap, color-matched to the inner bezel rings.

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.
Gem-Set Code 11.59 Watches
AP added a pair of gem-set Code 11.59 watches to its lineup in 2024, both featuring 38mm cases and offered in 18k white or pink gold. The watches boast dials set with 533 diamonds and colored sapphires, resulting in bold bejeweled versions of the AP Code 11.59.
Driving the trio of time-telling hands on the gem-paved dials is the Caliber 5909 automatic movement, visible through the display caseback and supplying 60 hours of power reserve.

Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition
No stranger to collaborations, Audemars Piguet has now 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 Openworked in 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.

Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked in White Gold
Audemars Piguet is expanding its Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked collection with a white gold version, set to join the already-existing pink gold, yellow gold, and white gold variants.
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 Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm in Yellow Gold
A new variation of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm joins the line, 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.

2024 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 41mm
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.

2024 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 43mm
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, 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.

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.

2024 Audemars Piguet Code 11.59
Released in 2019, the Code 11.59 collection introduced 13 references and three new movements simultaneously. The then-new line included time-and-date, chronograph, minute repeater Supersonnerie, tourbillon, and perpetual calendar models. Five years on, Audemars Piguet continues to expand the Code 11.59 range with fresh iterations. As part of its 2024 releases, AP is unveiling seven new Code 11.59 references, in 38mm and 41mm, all crafted in 18k pink gold.
The first two are Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38mm versions, both in pink gold but one with a light blue dial and light blue alligator strap and the other with a dark blue “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial and a matching dark blue alligator strap. These smaller versions are powered by Caliber 5900 with 50 hours of power reserve.
The next two are the pink gold Code 11.59 Selfwinding 41mm watches, one with a “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dark blue dial and the other with a dark green dial. Both versions are equipped with textured rubber straps that match their respective dials. These variants run on Caliber 4302, a self-winding movement with 70 hours of power reserve.
Finally, the last three are the Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm models, available in green, blue, and black. The green and blue versions sport full pink gold cases whereas the black version includes a black ceramic and pink gold case. Yet again, the trio of Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41m watches are fitted with textured rubber straps color-matched to the dials. Powering the chronographs is the Caliber 4401 self-winding movement with 70 hours of power reserve.
2024 Audemars Piguet Releases: More to Come?
As of May 2024, Audemars Piguet has dropped two major batches of new watches. Will we see more later on in the year? Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the watchmaker from Le Brassus has more up its sleeve before the end of the year. As always, stay tuned to Grey Market Magazine for any updates from Audemars Piguet.
