Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 50th Anniversary – Ref. 26240OR.OO.1320OR.02

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240OR.OO.1320OR.02 is a remarkable timepiece created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, crafted in 18k pink gold, this anniversary edition encapsulates the blend of bold innovation and timeless elegance that has defined Audemars Piguet for over half a century.

The case measures 41mm in diameter and is executed in solid 18k pink gold, maintaining the Royal Oak’s iconic octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws. Its sophisticated satin-brushed and polished surfaces reflect the brand’s meticulous hand-finishing techniques. The integrated bracelet, also in 18k pink gold, features AP’s seamless links that combine comfort and refinement, culminating in a folding clasp for secure wear.

The dial is presented in a stunning black “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, providing depth and contrast against the pink gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating. Three black sub-dials are arranged in the classic chronograph layout: a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, and the small seconds at 6 o’clock, with a discreet date window between 4 and 5 o’clock.

Inside beats the Audemars Piguet in-house Caliber 4401, a self-winding integrated chronograph movement introduced as part of AP’s next-generation engineering. This column-wheel chronograph movement features a flyback function, allowing instant reset and restart of the chronograph without stopping.

Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds, date, flyback chronograph

The movement is beautifully displayed through the sapphire exhibition caseback, revealing Côtes de Genève decoration, chamfered bridges, and the “50 Years” anniversary rotor, crafted in matching 22k pink gold to celebrate the half-century milestone of the Royal Oak.
