Lot Essay

The 50th anniversary of AP’s Royal Oak in 2022 was an important milestone event not only for Audemars Piguet the company, for whom it was an incredibly significant year, but also in the broader history of watchmaking. Any retrospective assessment of the Royal Oak’s wider impact on modern wristwatch design and the luxury wristwatch market in the modern era will identify its introduction in 1972 as a fearlessly bold and seminal moment that was truly the birth of a legend.

The reference 26240ST in stainless steel stands as one of the most acclaimed models in Audemars Piguet's latest collection. This reference marks the first Royal Oak Chronograph to be equipped with the brand’s latest in-house automatic caliber, the 4401.
