In honour of the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary last year, Audemars Piguet launched a new range of Royal Oak Chronograph wristwatches. Seventeen new iterations were slowly released throughout 2022, offering 38mm (26715) and 41mm (26240) sizes, an array of different colourways, and blinding diamondset variants. To celebrate the momentous event, the firm reintroduces the “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial color from the 1972 original Royal Oak in Grande Tapisserie effect. Compared to its previous ref. 26331, the new reference not only features larger hour markers but most notably a 50th anniversary rotor composed of gold displayed through its sapphire caseback. A rare sight, it is believed that Audemars Piguet only produced these models fitted with the 50th anniversary rotor for the year of 2022.
The present example is indeed one of these rare examples fitted with a 50th anniversary rotor. With a 41mm diameter case, the present ref. 26240OR dressed in pink gold features the desirable “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial colour that is simply the perfect contrast against the pink gold case. Offered in excellent overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories, it is a great opportunity for collectors and lovers of the Royal Oak to own a spectacular and attractive anniversary Royal Oak Chronograph.
