Royal Oak 41mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 41 mm case suggests

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 41mm measures 50.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.23 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 87% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 53% of the 68 Audemars Piguet watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50.5 mm (1.99 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 10.5 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 80% of the watches with a listed thickness.
