How it wears
Wears larger than its 39 mm case suggests
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#5 39mm measures 49 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.26 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 73% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 25% of the 68 Audemars Piguet watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 66 mm (2.60 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49 mm (1.93 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 8.1 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 94% of the watches with a listed thickness.

Fills most of the wrist for a bold, sporty fit; lug shape and end links matter.
