Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240CE.OO.1225CE.02 41 mm Black Ceramic with Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240CE.OO.1225CE.02 elevates the maison’s most iconic sport-luxury design through the technical sophistication of black ceramic. Each surface of the 41 mm case is finished with exceptional precision—sharp bevels, satin brushing, and polished facets come together in a material notoriously difficult to machine, underscoring AP’s mastery of advanced craftsmanship. The integrated ceramic bracelet reinforces the Royal Oak’s architectural character while offering a remarkably lightweight and scratch-resistant wearing experience.

Its black dial, structured in the signature “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, hosts tri-compax chronograph counters accented with refined contrast elements. Warm-toned hands and markers provide depth and legibility, highlighting the interplay between material innovation and classical watchmaking codes. The result is a chronograph that marries technical authority with contemporary elegance, positioning this reference as one of the most compelling ceramic executions within the Royal Oak lineage.
