The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph (ref. 26240OR.OO.D002CR.02) refines the legacy of Gérald Genta’s design language in full 18ct pink gold, offering a sleek evolution to the iconic 41mm chronograph. Introduced in 2022 as the successor to the 50th Anniversary edition, this reference features an opulent interplay of precious metal and a striking black dial – a classic high-contrast pairing that highlights the watch’s angular silhouette.

The pink-gold case is finished with Audemars Piguet’s signature mix of brushed and polished surfaces, capped by the hallmark octagonal bezel. The vertically-aligned black “Grande Tapisserie” dial hosts three gold-accented sub-dials and is powered by the calibre 4401 – an in-house, flyback chronograph movement with a 70-hour power reserve. An open caseback reveals its column wheel and vertical clutch architecture, while water resistance is rated to 50 m.

Delivered on a black alligator strap with matching pink-gold folding clasp, this reference balances refinement with technical impact, marking a streamlined contemporary direction for the Royal Oak Chronograph line following its milestone year.
