The first Royal Oak chronograph was introduced in 1998, nearly three decades after the debut of the Royal Oak in 1972. The reference 25860 housed the caliber 2385 based on the Frederic Piguet caliber 1185 – the thinnest self-winding chronograph movement made at the time, permitting the classic thin profile of the original Royal Oak to be maintained. In 2008, Audemars Piguet replaced the reference 25860 with the introduction of the Royal Oak reference 26320 - a redesigned model featuring a three-piece case similar in construction to the brand’s Offshore collection. Now discontinued, the successor reference updated the case diameter to 41mm, but the 40mm case of the 26320 is by no means diminutive. With its charismatic, glossy black grande tapisserie dial and pink gold luminous markers, it is both an impressive and masculine chronograph wristwatch. The present example in pink gold from 2015 is in excellent, nearly new overall condition and was probably worn only a handful of times. Accompanied by the International Warranty booklet and presentation box, this is a rare opportunity to own a model that is difficult to find and highly sought after.
