Royal Oak 26240OR Anniversary

At The Second Hand Club, we are proud to present a historically significant example of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph Ref. 26240OR.OO.D002CR.02 in 18k rose gold, produced in 2022 as part of the Royal Oak's 50th Anniversary collection. This 41 mm flyback chronograph features the black "Grande Tapisserie" dial on a hand-stitched leather strap, and carries the special commemorative "50" rotor visible through the sapphire caseback, a detail exclusive to the anniversary production run that distinguishes these early 26240 examples from all subsequent pieces. Powered by the Calibre 4401, Audemars Piguet's first fully in-house integrated flyback chronograph movement with 70 hours of power reserve, this reference marks a turning point in the Royal Oak Chronograph's mechanical lineage. The combination of the anniversary rotor, the inaugural Cal. 4401, and the warmth of rose gold on leather makes this a watch that sits at the intersection of two milestones: fifty years of the Royal Oak design and the beginning of complete manufacture independence for the chronograph complication. For collectors who value provenance and first-year significance, this is one of the most compelling 26240 variants to acquire.
