Designed in the 1990s, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time was a timepiece built for jet setter of the era. Much like the all-time collector’s favourite Royal Oak Jumbo ref. 5402, the Royal Oak Dual Time ref. 26120 features a 39mm diameter stainless steel case as a homage to the original proportions with a contemporary touch. The stainless steel reference was launched in 2 variants, a white dial and a black dial like the present example. On top of the rich dark grand tapisserie dial, four complications are displayed in white and red accents to offer maximum legibility: a date function at 2 o’clock, a second time-zone with day and night indication at 6 o’clock, and finally a power reserve indication at 9 o’clock. Powered by the self-winding calibre 2329/2846 beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph, delivering 40 hours of power reserve. Beautifully balanced with a wealth of information, the black variant boast an attractive masculine appeal. Discontinued in 2015, the present example offered in an excellent overall condition is part of the last of its kind.
