Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2017, Audemars Piguet launched the Royal Oak Chronograph ref. 26331IP to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the firm’s first all titanium Royal Oak chronograph ref. 26320 from 1997. While maintaining similar aesthetics to its older models, the new model featured a larger 41mm diameter case with larger hour and minute registers at 3 and 9 o’clock. With an attractively curated appeal, the watch features a lightweight titanium case and bracelet fitted with a mirror polished bezel and center links which combines to a total weight of 187 grams. Displayed on a two tone grey and blue grand tappisserie dial, the harmony between the two tone case and the dial is subtle but refined nonetheless.
Released as a limited edition of 500 pieces, the ref. 26331IP has become one of the most demanded Royal Oak models in the market in recent times. The present example from circa 2017 is offered in excellent overall condition and is further complete with its full set of accessories.
