The Royal Oak arrived in 1972 as a deliberate provocation: a steel sports watch priced above the gold dress watches of its day, drawn by Gérald Genta and built around an octagonal bezel secured by eight exposed hexagonal screws. Fifty years later it is the model the entire integrated-bracelet category is measured against.
This 26240ST is the 41mm Selfwinding Chronograph, produced in 2022 for the Royal Oak's fiftieth anniversary year. The steel case carries the alternating brushed and polished surfaces that define the model, and the black dial is worked in the Grande Tapisserie pattern that has been a Royal Oak signature since the original. Three registers and a date aperture sit within it without crowding the layout.
Power comes from Calibre 4401, the integrated flyback chronograph movement Audemars Piguet developed in-house and introduced in 2019. Unlike a modular chronograph built on a base movement, it was designed as a chronograph from the outset, with a column wheel, vertical clutch and a seventy-hour power reserve. Water resistance is 5 ATM.
The integrated steel bracelet tapers from the case in the manner Genta specified, each link individually finished with the same brushed-and-polished treatment as the case. It remains among the more difficult bracelets in the industry to execute, and is a substantial part of what the watch costs to make.
Anniversary-year examples carry the commemorative oscillating weight visible through the caseback. This one is offered as a full set in used condition, graded Good, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.
