Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240BC.GG.1324BC.02 41mm APS 4401 Watch
A bold 41mm luxury sports chronograph combining the iconic octagonal Royal Oak profile with a striking frosted-style hammered finish. The textured surface reflects light from multiple angles, creating a distinctive diamond-dust appearance while preserving the strong architectural character of the case and integrated bracelet.
The blue dial features the signature “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, complemented by lighter blue chronograph subdials for clear visual contrast. Three precisely arranged counters at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock create a balanced chronograph layout, while the date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock adds practical everyday functionality.
Luminous applied hour markers and Royal Oak-style hands provide excellent readability. Powered by a 4401 automatic mechanical movement and produced by APS Factory, this model is designed for customers seeking a substantial luxury-sports presence suitable for business, casual, and weekend wear.

FAQ
1. Is the frosted finish made from real gold?
No. The case and bracelet are made from 316L stainless steel. The sparkling appearance comes from a frosted-style hammered surface treatment rather than solid gold or gold plating.
2. Are the chronograph subdials functional?
Yes. The watch features a 4401 automatic chronograph movement with three functional subdials, designed to provide complete chronograph timing functions.
3. Is the 41mm case suitable for smaller wrists?
Yes. The 41mm case offers a balanced luxury-sports presence, while the integrated bracelet follows the natural curve of the wrist for a comfortable and secure fit across a range of wrist sizes.
4. How should the frosted-style surface be cleaned?
Use a clean, soft microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing paste, hard brushes, or aggressive rubbing. Professional cleaning is recommended when dirt becomes trapped around the bezel, links, or textured surfaces.
