Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26317BC.OO.1256BC.01 Selfwinding Chronograph White Gold Light Blue Dial Limited Edition of 100 (2020)

Built around a chronograph, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26317BC.OO.1256BC.01 Self-winding Chronograph White Gold Light Blue Dial Limited Edition of 100 (2020) combines a 38mm white gold case, a light blue dial, and an automatic movement.

The pale dial creates a distinctive interplay of light against the white metal case and bracelet, while a contrasting dark blue external zone enhances legibility — a configuration that has made this discreet, monochromatic chronograph particularly coveted among collectors of precious-metal Royal Oaks. The 38mm case in 18-karat white gold measures 11mm thick, brushed with polished accents, its octagonal bezel secured beneath the signature hexagonal screws.

The self-winding Caliber 2385, an integrated column-wheel chronograph with unidirectional solid gold rotor, delivers a 40-hour power reserve, completed by an integrated white gold Royal Oak bracelet with AP double-folding clasp.

Part of the Royal Oak Chronograph 38mm range introduced the previous year, the reference pairs Gérald Genta's iconic 1972 octagonal architecture with a delicate light blue "Grande Tapisserie" dial, executed entirely in 18-karat white gold. The light blue "Grande Tapisserie" dial carries blue snailed counters within a darker blue outer ring, white gold applied hour markers, and luminescent Royal Oak hands, with three registers and a date aperture at four-thirty.

Production is limited to 100 pieces.

The watch dates to 2020; it is described in like new & unworn condition and is offered with its original box and original papers.
