Audemars Piguet’s notable 2021 introductions ranged from green-dial Royal Oaks to a two-tone openworked CODE 11.59 and a titanium Royal Oak minute repeater. The selection below focuses on prominent spring and autumn releases reported by WatchPro; it is not a complete official inventory of every AP watch introduced that year.
Spring 2021: five green Royal Oak highlights
The spring lineup showed how much variation sits behind the phrase “green Royal Oak.” WatchPro reported five watches, spanning platinum, yellow gold, titanium, and pink gold, with complications from an extra-thin design to a flying tourbillon.
Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin in platinum
The 950 platinum case was paired with a smoked green sunburst dial. Its appeal is the restrained combination of precious metal and a shifting green finish, rather than a complication-led display. WatchPro’s March 2021 report covered the spring green-dial releases.
Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph in yellow gold
This 41 mm model used an 18-carat yellow-gold case and a green Grande Tapisserie dial. WatchPro reported production of 125 pieces. That is a figure attributed to the 2021 report, not an independently confirmed AP production total.

How to choose among the 2021 highlights
The watches serve notably different preferences, so a useful shortlist starts with the feature that matters most:
- For a relatively understated precious-metal Royal Oak: consider the platinum “Jumbo” Extra-Thin and its smoked green sunburst dial.
- For a chronograph with a strong color-and-material statement: the yellow-gold spring model pairs green Grande Tapisserie with a reported 125-piece production.
- For a tourbillon: compare the spring titanium and pink-gold versions by case material and the reported production figures; the emerald-set bezel adds a more conspicuous jewelry element.
- For visible movement architecture: the CODE 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked puts the hand-finished mechanism on display.
- For a sound complication: the titanium Minute Repeater Supersonnerie combines a chiming mechanism with the autumn collection’s smoky grey styling.
- For calendar functionality: the titanium Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar offers that complication in a blue-dial, integrated-bracelet design.
