Description
This 41mm stainless steel chronograph showcases the Royal Oak’s signature black Grande Tapisserie dial within the iconic octagonal case architecture that defined luxury sports watches. Reference 26240ST.OO.1320ST.06 represents the contemporary evolution of Gérald Genta’s revolutionary 1972 design, maintaining the distinctive exposed screws and integrated steel bracelet while incorporating modern chronograph functionality. The screw-down crown and 50-meter water resistance preserve the watch’s sporting credentials, while the transparent caseback reveals the automatic movement within. Complete with original box and papers, this example demonstrates Audemars Piguet’s mastery of both horological tradition and contemporary watchmaking excellence.
