Born from a half-century of horological mastery, the Royal Oak 26240ST stands as the modern heir to Gérald Genta’ s 1972 icon.

First unveiled in 2022 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, this reference embodies the perfect evolution of a legend, refined, contemporary, and unmistakably AP.

At its heart lies the Calibre 4401, Audemars Piguet’ s fully in-house integrated flyback chronograph movement, an engineering triumph that replaced the Frederic Piguet-based calibres of earlier generations. Its steel case and bracelet have been reimagined with sharper bevels and lighter, more ergonomic links, enhancing both light play and comfort. The“ Grande Tapisserie” dial features redesigned counters, crisp typography, and a more pronounced AP emblem, subtle modernity for the purist eye.

While the 2022 anniversary models bore the exclusive“ 50 Years” oscillating weight, the 2023 edition carries forward the same spirit without the commemorative rotor— an understated continuation of the anniversary legacy.

This is the Royal Oak at its most distilled: a piece that bridges eras, uniting innovation and heritage in a design that remains as daring, elegant, and covetable as the day it was born.
