Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67630BC.GG.1312BC.01-B 'Mini' Frosted White Gold Grey Dial (2024)

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67630BC.GG.1312BC.01-B ‘Mini’ is an exquisite example of how the iconic Royal Oak design can be reimagined in its most delicate and jewelry-inspired form. With a compact 23mm case diameter, this reference is one of the smallest Royal Oaks ever produced, offering a uniquely elegant presence on the wrist while retaining the full visual identity of its larger counterparts.

Crafted from 18k white gold, the watch features Audemars Piguet’s stunning frosted gold finish—an artisanal technique developed in collaboration with Florentine jewelry designer Carolina Bucci. This hand-hammered surface treatment creates a shimmering, diamond-dust effect across the case and integrated bracelet, delivering brilliant sparkle without the use of gemstones. Polished bevels and satin-brushed accents on the iconic octagonal bezel and bracelet links provide added contrast and depth.

The grey dial, with its refined Grande Tapisserie pattern, balances texture and tone to perfection. Applied white gold hour markers and luminescent Royal Oak hands provide legibility and sophistication, while a small date aperture at 3 o’clock offers subtle functionality without disrupting the dial’s symmetry.

Inside, the watch is powered by a high-precision quartz movement, chosen to maintain the case’s slim profile and lightweight wearability. Though quartz, this movement is encased in one of the most meticulously finished designs in modern luxury watchmaking, emphasizing elegance and craftsmanship over complication.

The frosted white gold bracelet, fully integrated into the case, is as much a piece of fine jewelry as it is a functional component. It’s secured by an AP folding clasp and features the same brilliant hammered finish, ensuring the watch shimmers from every angle.

The Royal Oak 67630BC.GG.1312BC.01-B ‘Mini’ is an ultra-refined creation, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the fusion of haute horlogerie and artisanal jewelry. At 23mm, it’s a testament to how bold design can be distilled into its most elegant and wearable form.
