圖錄文章
Released in 2022 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Royal Oak, the present chronograph reference 26240 in stainless steel is one of the most acclaimed models from Audemars Piguet's latest collection. While exquisitely beautiful thanks to its 41mm sporty case diameter and even more striking and desirable khaki dial, reference 26240 is the first Royal Oak Chronograph equipped with the newest in-house automatic caliber 4401. It is certainly an upgrade over the Frédéric Piguet cal. 1185 thanks to its quirky additions like the flyback chronograph function, vertical clutch and column wheel.

The new in house caliber has also allowed for a rebalancing of the dial and modeling of the case. Now more symmetrical, the dial showcases equally sized subdials with the date window now sitting more close to the edge of the dial at 4 o'clock rather than in the middle, allowing for a more visually pleasing look. The case has slightly increased in thickness (1.4mm to be precise) however still retaining a beautiful silhouette and extreme comfortability on the wrist.

Extremely desirable and sought-after, the present Royal Oak Chronograph is historically important, marking the 50 years anniversary of the Royal Oak.

All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
