Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 34 mm case suggests

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm measures 43.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 34 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.28 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 90% of the 68 Audemars Piguet watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.4 mm (1.71 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
