In 2015, Audemars Piguet unveiled the next chapter in this lineage with the ref. 26574. Its 41 mm case offered a refined presence, while a new weekly indication enriched the dial's already generous display of information. Beneath the surface, the self‑winding cal. 5134—derived from the legendary cal. 2120—was calibrated to harmonize with the expanded dimensions, ensuring both reliability and elegance. The reference launched in four inaugural variants: pink gold and stainless steel, each offered with a choice of white or blue dials. From this foundation, the collection has since flourished.
The present example—a stainless steel ref. 26574 with a crisp white dial—represents the reference in its purest expression. Clean, refined, and unmistakably iconic, it captures the essence of the Royal Oak at its most legible and balanced. Offered in well‑preserved condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories including a winding presentation box, this timepiece presents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern classic.
