“One of the nicest chronographs ever produced by AP, the rhodium subdials balance out the size of the 41mm case perfectly.”

The Royal Oak holds legendary status on its 50th anniversary, and the 26331ST combines the style and complication of a chronograph with the original concept and design of the Genta era, in a breathtaking and ultra-desirable timepiece. The model’s rich blue, duo-toned “Grande Tapisserie” dial, with rhodium-coloured counters and white gold applied hour-markers, is cut using a 100-year-old pantograph, a technique unique to Audemars Piguet. This method conjures different shades depending on angle, in keeping with its instantly-recognisable immaculate satin brushed octagonal case and integrated bracelet, which remain unrivalled in the way they play with light and reflect even the smallest amount with a unique beauty. The eye-catching brushed and polished finishing of the original 1972 Royal Oak remains on the Royal Oak Chronographs of today, and with its comfortable and secure AP signature double deployant clasp, the 26331ST feels immensely powerful on the wrist. In the words of Audemars Piguet, “rugged elegance.”
