Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15550SR.OO.1356SR.01 Selfwinding 50Th Anniversary 37mm Stainless Steel

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15550SR.OO.1356SR.01 is proof that balance is everything. With a 37mm case, this Selfwinding 50th Anniversary model lands exactly where comfort, elegance, and presence meet. It doesn’t try to dominate the wrist. Instead, it earns attention through proportion and detail.

This reference combines stainless steel with 18K rose gold in a way that feels deliberate and mature. The contrast is soft, never flashy. On the wrist, it feels versatile equally at home under a cuff or worn casually, without losing its identity.

Dial Design And Craftsmanship

The silver “Grande Tapisserie” dial is instantly recognizable, yet never boring. Texture does most of the talking here. Rose gold applied hour markers and hands add warmth and depth, giving the dial a layered look that changes subtly with light. Legibility stays sharp, which is something Royal Oak dials do exceptionally well.

The iconic octagonal bezel, secured with visible screws, keeps the design grounded in Gérald Genta’s original vision. This is classic Royal Oak DNA, refined for modern wear.

Movement And Everyday Wear

Inside beats the automatic Calibre 5900, a movement built for reliability and daily use. With a power reserve of around 60 hours, it’s practical without compromise. Flip the watch over and the sapphire caseback reveals the special 50th Anniversary rotor an understated nod to collectors who appreciate the details that others might miss.
