The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, introduced in 1972, is an unmistakable design that redefined luxury sports watches. Known for its iconic octagonal bezel, “Tapisserie” patterned dial, and integrated bracelet, the Royal Oak stands as a symbol of bold design and fine craftsmanship. This clock design captures the essence of the Royal Oak. Whether you’re a watch collector or simply appreciate timeless design, this clock is a tribute to one of the most influential timepieces ever made.
Please note: this clock in particular requires a well tuned printer and great bed adhesion, so be sure to do everything possible to ensure success. I would recommend drying your filament and wiping your printer bed with isopropyl alcohol before attempting.
For those with X1 Carbons, make sure you uncheck the “Flow Calibration” option when going to print, as the calibration lines will intersect with the bezel.
Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
Layer Height: 0.2mm

Note: Do not hit the arrange button when printing, as it will separate the pieces from their correct positions.
Recommended Print Plates
Dial Plate: Textured PEI plate (I added supports for the 4 tabs, as well as the index slots)
Bezel Plate: Smooth PEI plate (no supports required)
Filaments Needed (only 4 are needed at a time)
Silver (preferably metallic or silk)
Dark Blue (or any color you wish for the dial)
Glow filament for accurate Lume (use white if you don't have glow)
Hardware Needed
4x M3 x 4mm conical screws
1x Bambu Clock Kit 011
Assembly Instructions
Bezel and Dial:
Use 4 M3 screws to attach the dial to the bezel through the 4 tabs
Press each hour index into the slots on the bezel. If they are too small or too large, change the scale by 1% in the slicer and reprint. They may need to be glued in.
Clock Mechanism:
Insert the clock mechanism into the slot on the back of the dial, ensuring it is fully seated.
Attach the thin brass nut onto the post protruding from the front of the dial and tighten.

Hands:
Attach the hour hand first, pushing it onto the larger part of the post as far as it will go without excessive force.
Next, attach the minute hand similarly onto the smaller part of the post.
For the second hand, pry the small pin piece from the second hand included in the clock kit. Push the pin through the printed second hand from the top, and insert the end of the pin into the hole at the end of the mechanism post.
You may need to add a small drop of glue to get the second hand to stick to the pin
Ensure all hands move freely without contacting each other

Final Steps:
Insert the battery into the mechanism.
Set the time.
Enjoy your AP Royal Oak inspired clock!

Please share photos of your completed clocks. I would love to see your prints!
The model is awesome, i would love to make a bigger version. Is there any chance you could upload a version where the square with "audemars piguet" is also seperated. So i can print the base on my N4Max?
