2024 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240st White Dial

This reference combines the classic “Grande Tapisserie” white dial with AP’s updated flyback chronograph movement (caliber 4401) for the first time in stainless steel. It represents a perfect harmony of heritage design and modern engineering, making it a must-have for Royal Oak purists and modern collectors alike.

The Caliber 4401 offers a flyback function, column wheel mechanism, and a 70-hour power reserve, delivering smoother pusher action, better accuracy, and instant reset timing—an upgrade from the previous 2385 movement used in earlier Royal Oak chronographs.

Yes—while blue and black dials typically dominate demand, the white dial version is produced in smaller quantities and appeals to collectors seeking contrast, clean aesthetics, and legibility. It’s often referred to as a “sleeper reference” among AP enthusiasts.

Despite its 41mm case size, the updated ergonomics of the bracelet and slimmer movement profile make the 26240ST feel extremely balanced on the wrist. The white dial also gives it a more versatile and dress-friendly look, ideal for both casual and formal wear.
