Description

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26315ST.OO.1256ST.01 is a paragon of horological artistry, representing the essence of avant-garde watchmaking in the luxury sector. With its lineage tracing back to 1972 when the original Royal Oak was introduced, this chronograph remains a testament to AP’s commitment to innovation and quality.

Crafted from stainless steel, the case of the 26315ST.OO.1256ST.01 exhibits the iconic octagonal bezel – a signature of the Royal Oak collection. This is beautifully complemented by the “Grande Tapisserie” pattern on its dial, a characteristic that remains a hallmark of the collection. The ensemble is protected by glare-proofed sapphire crystal.

Powered by the caliber 2385, an automatic movement, the watch features a tri-compax layout with chronograph functions, hours, minutes, small seconds, and date indication. It possesses a 40-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability and precision.

Aesthetically, the chronograph’s white counters contrast elegantly with the blue dial, enhancing legibility and ensuring a contemporary look. Luminescent hands and hour markers provide visibility in low light.

A seamlessly integrated stainless steel bracelet – with AP’s signature folding clasp – ensures comfort and a snug fit. This continuity in design exemplifies the harmonious balance between form and function.

Audemars Piguet – bio

Audemars Piguet is a Swiss manufacturer of mechanical watches founded in 1875. They began in the Vallée de Joux. Jules Louis Audemars formed a partnership with Edward Auguste Piguet. Audemars created complicated blank watch movements for other manufactures to use. Piguet specialized in the final regulation of watches. They then split responsibilities when they began their own company. Audemars was in charge of production and technical aspects while Piguet focused on sales and management. One of their first achievements was creating the first repeater wristwatch in 1892 and in 1972 the iconic steel “Royal Oak”.
