The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26331 is a cornerstone of the modern Royal Oak lineup, introduced in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak Chronograph. Its design refines the classic Genta silhouette with updated subdial proportions and a slightly more contemporary case profile, making it a favorite among collectors seeking both heritage and modernity in a single package.

This 41mm model is powered by the automatic Caliber 2385, a reliable movement known for its slim profile and crisp chronograph action. Reference 26331ST (stainless steel) and 26331OR (pink gold) are the most pursued, with dial colors like blue, black, and silver-toned “Grande Tapisserie” patterns influencing desirability. The steel versions typically command lower prices than gold, but rare dial variants—especially boutique or limited editions—can drive values higher.

Condition is critical: original bracelet finish, crisp bezel edges, and unpolished cases are highly prized. Early production pieces may show subtle dial differences, so confirm details against AP’s official records if you’re after a specific variant. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters—adequate for daily wear but not a dive watch. This reference is a smart target for collectors who want the iconic Royal Oak look with the added functionality and visual interest of a chronograph.
