Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Panda Dial Ref. 26300ST.OO.1110ST.06 – 39mm Stainless Steel The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26300ST.OO.1110ST.06 “39mm Panda Dial”, is a true modern classic within the Royal Oak collection. This model represents the perfect balance between Gérald Genta’s original 1972 Royal Oak design and a contemporary sports chronograph. Today, the Panda dial configuration remains one of the most coveted variations among collectors for its striking contrast and timeless appeal. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, the watch carries the Royal Oak’s iconic octagonal bezel with exposed hexagonal screws. Its integrated stainless steel bracelet, meticulously finished with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, flows seamlessly into the case, exemplifying Audemars Piguet’s unmatched craftsmanship. The dial is where this reference truly shines — a crisp silver-white “Grande Tapisserie” pattern background contrasted with bold black sub-dials, giving it the unmistakable “Panda” look. The applied white gold hour markers, luminescent hands, and a discreet date window at 4:30 complete the dial’s balanced symmetry. A subtle red chronograph seconds hand adds a sporty flourish without overpowering the elegant aesthetic. Movement At the heart of the Royal Oak Chronograph 26300ST beats the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2385, a self-winding chronograph movement renowned for its precision and reliability.
