Royal Oak 67651 Quartz Yellow Gold / Blue

In Context

At 33 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. The 7 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.02 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a yellow gold case.

The 2713 is the quartz movement of the 33 mm Royal Oak, showing hours, minutes and a date, finished with Côtes de Genève. It powers 38 watches in this library, all 33 mm. Audemars Piguet has offered the Royal Oak with a quartz movement in its smallest size since the 1980s, and the 2713 is the current one: 18.8 mm across with 7 jewels, decorated to the same standard as the mechanical calibers even though the caseback is closed. The reason is the case. A 33 mm Royal Oak with a diamond bezel and a mother-of-pearl dial is a jewellery watch, and a quartz movement keeps it thin and accurate without winding. Every reference here is a [Royal Oak](/brands/audemars-piguet/royal-oak) Quartz 33, the 67650, 67651 and 67653 in steel, pink gold, white gold and the frosted gold finish introduced in 2016, 38 in all. Three are limited editions. The [5800](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-5800) is the mechanical movement of the 34 mm Royal Oak, the next size up.

37 other watches in the library run the Audemars Piguet AP 2713.
