Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331IP.OO.1220IP.01 Chronograph Titanium Platinum Grey Dial Limited Edition of 500 (2018)

Released to mark two decades of the Royal Oak Chronograph, this limited edition pairs two very different metals in a single case: featherlight titanium and dense, precious platinum. That unusual combination, denoted by the "IP" in its reference, gives the watch a distinctive tonal palette of brushed greys and an intriguing contrast in weight and warmth. Produced in just five hundred examples, it has become a connoisseur's favorite among Royal Oak chronographs, prized for its subtlety and rarity. The 41mm case is machined from titanium and crowned with a platinum bezel and eight hexagonal screws, while platinum centre links run through the titanium bracelet. Its slate grey dial carries the signature Grande Tapisserie pattern and three deep blue snailed counters registering elapsed time, with a date nestled between four and five o'clock. Screw-locked pushers flank the crown to operate the self-winding chronograph, uniting purpose with the Royal Oak's inimitable presence. *This timepiece is limited to 500 pieces.
