Audemars Piguet 26331OR Royal Oak Chronograph 18K Rose Gold Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26331OR.OO.1220OR.02 exemplifies the brand’s expertise in luxury sports watches, rendered here in a timeless 18K rose gold configuration with a striking black 'Grande Tapisserie' patterned dial. Introduced in the 2017 refresh of the Royal Oak Chronograph line, this model benefits from refined subdial proportions and updated lume for improved legibility, aligning with the latest in AP's design evolution. The 41mm rose gold case, matched by an integrated rose gold bracelet, conveys a statement of pure elegance and craftsmanship unique to Audemars Piguet. Inside, the automatic caliber 2385 powers the chronograph function with a 40-hour power reserve, a column wheel chronograph derived from the Frederic Piguet 1185 base, celebrated for its thinness and reliability. The design houses screw-locked pushers and a glare-proof sapphire crystal, delivering 50 meters of water resistance—ideal for sophisticated daily wear. Highly sought after by collectors, this Royal Oak blends durability, mechanical pedigree, and a design language that has defined haute horlogerie since Gerald Genta’s 1972 original. The black dial, offset by rose gold markers and hands, imbues the watch with expressive contrast while maintaining a versatile, classic aesthetic. This reference stands as a vibrant example of the continuing evolution and desirability of the Royal Oak family, appealing to connoisseurs seeking both exclusivity and a storied heritage.
