Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time Ref. 26120OR.OO.D002CR.01 18K Rose Gold Box & Papers 2013

We are pleased to present one of the most distinctive and technically rewarding references within the Royal Oak family: the Dual Time, Ref. 26120OR.OO.D002CR.01. Crafted entirely in 18-carat rose gold, the 26120OR has quietly become something of an insider's favourite among Royal Oak collectors seeking exceptional function at a comparatively accessible point of entry into the collection.

Introduced as one of the most complication-dense references within the Royal Oak line, the 26120OR demonstrates Audemars Piguet's ability to integrate a genuine second-time-zone mechanism into the instantly recognisable Royal Oak case without compromising its signature silhouette. The octagonal bezel with its eight hexagonal screws, the alternating satin-brushed and mirror-polished surfaces of the case, and the balanced 39mm proportions embody the timeless design first envisioned by Gérald Genta in 1972 while elevating it through the warmth of solid rose gold.

The richly textured black "Grande Tapisserie" dial creates striking depth and contrast against the applied rose gold hour markers and luminous Royal Oak hands. Despite its density of information, the display remains carefully balanced: a second time zone at 6 o'clock, a 24-hour indication at 7 o'clock, a power reserve display at 10 o'clock, and a date aperture at 2 o'clock all sit in harmony within the dial's architecture, a technically ambitious Royal Oak.

At the heart of the watch beats the self-winding Calibre AP 2329 with module 2846, developed by Audemars Piguet on a refined Jaeger-LeCoultre base. This sophisticated movement allows the wearer to effortlessly track a second time zone alongside power reserve and date, making the 26120OR as practical for the travelling collector as it is technically compelling on the wrist.

Completing the watch is a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with an 18-carat rose gold folding clasp.
