Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time 26120ST.OO.1220ST.03 39mm Stainless Steel The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time Ref. 26120ST.OO.1220ST.03 is a sophisticated and highly functional timepiece that brings together the iconic Royal Oak design with practical travel-ready complications. Introduced in the early 2000s, this model has become a favorite among collectors who admire its balance of sportiness, refinement, and utility. Crafted from stainless steel, the case measures 39 mm in diameter – a classic size that maintains the proportions of the original Royal Oak introduced in 1972 by Gérald Genta. The octagonal bezel, secured by its signature white gold screws, frames the dial with unmistakable Royal Oak presence. The integrated steel bracelet with a double folding clasp continues the watch’s seamless design language and ensures a secure yet comfortable fit. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the solid caseback reinforces durability. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear. The dial showcases the brand’s iconic “Grande Tapisserie” pattern in slate grey, offering both depth and elegance. The dual time-zone display is arranged with clarity: a sub-dial at 6 o’clock shows a second time zone with day/night indication, while the power reserve is displayed at 10 o’clock. At 2 o’clock, a pointer date display adds to the watch’s practicality. Applied white gold hour markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating ensure readability against the textured background. Movement – Caliber 2329/2846 At its heart, the watch is powered by the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2329/2846, a finely finished self-winding movement. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and provides a power reserve of approximately 38–40 hours. The caliber integrates dual-time functionality, pointer date, and power reserve indication while maintaining AP’s hallmark precision and reliability. Reference: 26120ST.OO.1220ST.03
