Royal Oak Offshore 25940 Chronograph Rubberclad Pink Gold

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 14.5 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

25940OK.OO.D002CA.02 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a grey dial with a pink gold, rubber case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

The 2326/2840 is the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph of the 1990s and 2000s, a Jaeger-LeCoultre 889-based automatic with a chronograph module on top. It powers 36 watches in this library. The 2326 is Audemars Piguet's version of the JLC 889, the thin automatic base it shared with several maisons before building its own, running at 28,800 vph with a 38-hour reserve. The Dubois Dépraz 2840 module, cam-operated, adds the chronograph and its counters, which is why the assembled movement has 50 jewels and a 29.3 mm diameter. It carried the Offshore from the 1990s until the in-house [3120](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-3120) base took over the module in 2007 as the [3126/3840](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-3126-3840). Every reference here is a [Royal Oak Offshore](/brands/audemars-piguet/royal-oak-offshore), and most are the limited editions of the mid-2000s: the Jay-Z 10th Anniversary, the Marcus, the Pride of Mexico and the rest of the 42 mm series. The 42 mm case accounts for 34 of the 36 references, and 28 are limited editions. The [4401](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-4401) is the integrated flyback chronograph that ended the modular era in 2021.

35 other watches in the library run the Audemars Piguet AP 2326 / 2840.
