Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240ST.OO.1320ST.06 41MM Stainless Steel Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240ST.OO.1320ST.06 embodies a refined, monochromatic interpretation of the Royal Oak’s unmistakable design language. Crafted in hand-finished stainless steel, the 41MM case displays the sharp architecture, satin brushing, and polished bevels that have defined the Royal Oak since 1972. Its octagonal bezel, secured by eight white gold screws, gives the watch its immediately recognizable silhouette and enduring presence.

At the center of this reference lies a dramatic Black Grande Tapisserie dial, offering a bold, high-contrast aesthetic that enhances the chronograph’s technical layout. The deep black texture absorbs light, allowing the white gold hands, applied hour markers, and tri-register subdials to stand out with exceptional clarity. This colorway is favored by collectors for its versatility, stealth elegance, and timeless appeal.

Inside beats AP’s advanced selfwinding chronograph movement, engineered for precision timekeeping and fluid pusher response. Power, efficiency, and craftsmanship converge to support everyday reliability without compromising haute horlogerie standards. The integrated stainless steel bracelet — an icon of comfort and construction — flows seamlessly from case to clasp, completing the watch’s powerful, modern form.

Dark, sleek, and technically sophisticated, this model offers a contemporary take on the Royal Oak Chronograph, perfectly suited for those who prefer a minimalist yet commanding presence on the wrist.
