The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph “50th Anniversary” (ref. 26240OR.OO.1320OR.04) celebrates half a century of the brand’s most iconic design with a bold combination of materials and dial colour. Crafted entirely in 18-carat pink gold, this 41mm anniversary edition stands out for its vivid green Grande Tapisserie dial – a tone rarely seen in the collection and particularly striking when paired with gold.

Housed within the angular Royal Oak case is the in-house calibre 4401, a self-winding column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch and flyback functionality. This modern movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is visible through the sapphire caseback, which also features a commemorative “50 Years” rotor. The chronograph sub-dials are symmetrically arranged without cutting into the indices, enhancing legibility while preserving the design’s balance. Water-resistant to 50m, the watch is fitted with an integrated pink-gold bracelet and AP folding clasp.

Marking a milestone in Royal Oak history, this reference fuses mechanical innovation with rare aesthetic choices, making it a standout even among other anniversary editions. Its limited production run only adds to its long-term desirability among collectors.
