First In-House Chronographe
A modern expression of a watchmaking classic, the Royal Oak Chronograph 41 mm reference 26240ST.OO.1320ST.05 embodies the full aesthetic and technical expertise of Audemars Piguet. Introduced in 2022 following the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, this version offers a refined yet contemporary take, featuring a deep blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial.
The 41 mm stainless steel case preserves the iconic proportions of the collection while introducing improved ergonomics, most notably in the integrated bracelet, which now offers a more fluid and comfortable fit. The signature finishing is exemplary, alternating between satin-brushed surfaces and polished bevels that define the Royal Oak's unmistakable character.
At its heart ticks the calibre 4401, an in-house automatic flyback chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured by Audemars Piguet. It delivers outstanding precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and the convenience of a flyback function, allowing the chronograph to be reset and restarted instantly without stopping. Through the sapphire caseback, the movement reveals a modern architecture with a column wheel and a beautifully finished 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight.
Offered in very good condition and accompanied by its full original set, this 2024 Royal Oak Chronograph is a highly coveted piece that bridges tradition and innovation, crafted for discerning collectors of contemporary fine watchmaking.
