Audemars Piguet Unveils Royal Oak Joaillerie High Jewellery Collection

The collection draws on the aesthetic language of the Royal Oak watch and reinterprets it in gem-set necklaces, earrings and cuffs, with motifs taken from the Swiss region around the brand's Vallée de Joux home, including frozen lakes and local flora.

The centrepiece is the Dream of Joux tie-style necklace, fashioned in white gold and anodized blue titanium. It carries 42 pear-shaped diamonds weighing around 63 carats in total, alongside 1,670 blue sapphires with a combined weight of more than five carats. A matching pair of earrings is set with eight pear-shaped diamonds of between 1.5 and 3 carats each and 196 blue sapphires.

The Risoud Eclipse necklace and cuff, named after a nearby forest, combine blackened titanium with white gold and are set with emeralds, including a necklace featuring five sugarloaf stones of around 16 carats. Six bejewelled cuffs form part of the line-up.

Among them, the Sunburst Royal Oak cuff brings together orange and yellow sapphires with spessartites, while the Blueberries Royal Oak cuff depicts a blueberry bush branch using 506 leaf-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, 19 amethyst cabochons and 16 black spinel cabochons.

The collection is completed by a selection of chokers and cuffs in a more fine-jewellery style, positioned as everyday pieces that can be worn alongside a client's existing Royal Oak watch.
