Description
This white gold Royal Oak Chronograph with blue Grande Tapisserie dial exemplifies Audemars Piguet’s mastery of precious metal case construction in the refined 38mm format. Reference 26317BC.OO.1256BC.01 bridges the gap between the original 39mm chronograph and the smaller time-only variants, offering ideal proportions for collectors seeking sophisticated wrist presence without overwhelming scale. The white gold case and bracelet construction elevates this selfwinding chronograph beyond the standard steel variants, while the deep blue dial creates compelling contrast against the precious metal backdrop. Complete with original box and papers, this example represents the refined evolution of Gérald Genta’s iconic 1972 design into contemporary chronograph territory.
