The Reference 26331 was introduced in 2017 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak chronograph. Similarly to what Audemars Piguet did in 2012 with the 40th anniversary of the model and the introduction of the Reference 15400, they presented a new version of the chronograph with the 21st century proportions.
The present lot features a highly unusual platinum and titanium case and the iconic 'Grande Tapisserie' dial with contrasting Big eye subsidiary dials for optimised readability. The combination of the platinum and titanium case and the grey and blue dial make this lot a particularly attractive piece and opportunity.
