Royal Oak Chronograph 25860ST

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph reference 25860ST, represents the epitome of refined sports watch design. This white-dialed AP chronograph is a stunning example of the legendary Royal Oak lineage, which redefined luxury watchmaking upon its debut in 1972. Conceived by the renowned designer Gérald Genta, the Royal Oak was the first high-end timepiece crafted from stainless steel and priced as a luxury item. Its bold design, featuring the iconic octagonal bezel secured with visible screws, integrated bracelet, and a sleek, angular case, was revolutionary, establishing a new category of stainless steel, luxury sports watches.

This particular reference is distinguished by its signature Tapisserie dial, a hallmark of the Royal Oak collection. The intricate guilloché pattern, created using traditional pantograph machinery, lends depth and texture to the dial, enhancing its visual appeal. The white dial is complemented by applied hour markers and hands with luminescent material (super luminova) for optimal legibility. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, the watch offers both elegance and versatility, with a chronograph and date complication powered by the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2385. Based on the legendary Frédéric Piguet 1185 movement, this automatic chronograph with date is celebrated for its slim profile, reliability, and smooth operation, offering a 40-hour power reserve.

The example shown above of the reference 25860ST remains in excellent overall condition, reflecting the care it has received over the last 20 years. It is accompanied by its original paperwork, and was serviced by the Audemars Piguet after-sales two years ago, with a clean and fully functional movement that still meets the strict requirements of AP. She will be sold with our extensive two year warranty.
