Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240OR.OO.D404CR.02 Chronograph Rose Gold Green Dial (2023)

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240OR.OO.D404CR.02 presents a striking blend of luxury materials and modern integrated-bracelet sport aesthetics. Housed in a 41 mm case crafted from rose gold, the watch retains the signature octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws, and polished along with satin-brushed surfaces that emphasizes its architectural design language. The dial features a khaki green “Grande Tapisserie” pattern with matching green sub-dials, applied pink-gold hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminous coating, creating a bold yet balanced visual presence on the wrist.

Powered by the in-house calibre 4401 automatic chronograph movement, this reference offers flyback chronograph capability, hours, minutes, small seconds, date and a robust 70-hour power reserve. The use of pink gold for the case and bezel underpins its luxury character, while the green dial lends distinctive personality — an uncommon colour pairing in the Royal Oak line. The integrated bracelet flows visually from the case—though in this version the watch is typically presented on a matching green alligator strap with pink-gold clasp — reinforcing the sport-elegant DNA that defines the Royal Oak heritage.

From a collector’s perspective, this reference stands out through its juxtaposition of precious-metal execution and sport watch utility. It appeals to those who value high-grade finishing, mechanical depth and standout design — all within the established Royal Oak framework. This model is particularly compelling for seasoned collectors seeking a chronograph that marries everyday wearability with luxury-metal refinement and a distinctive dial tone, making it a powerful addition to a thoughtfully curated collection.
