Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie 42mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie 42mm measures 54 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.29 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 98% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 82% of the 68 Audemars Piguet watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 60 mm (2.36 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 72 mm (2.83 in) it starts to look compact. Below 54 mm (2.13 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
