  • Catalogue Essay

    Initially released in 1997, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph was a new line of timepieces under the umbrella of the Royal Oak family. A commercial success, the firm released the ref. 26331 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the model line. Introduced at the SIHH 2017, Audemars Piguet introduced a limited-edition example in titanium and platinum as well as four examples in 18K pink gold and three examples in stainless steel.

    The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph ref. 26331ST.OO.1220ST.03 from circa 2017 features a highly desirable “panda” dial with the firm’s signature white tappiserie dial with black registers. Extremely well-preserved and accompanied by its full set of accessories, this is a fantastic opportunity for Audemars Piguet collectors to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
