In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

26007BA.OO.D088CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a brown dial with a yellow gold case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2003.

The 2226/2840 is the chronograph of the first Royal Oak Offshores. It is a Jaeger-LeCoultre 889-based automatic with a Dubois Dépraz 2840 cam-operated chronograph module on top. It powers 20 watches in this library. The 2226 is Audemars Piguet's version of the 889, the thin automatic base it shared with several maisons, running at 28,800 vph with a 42-hour reserve; the 2840 module adds the chronograph and its counters above it. It is the construction of the Offshore from the 25721 of 1993 through the 25862 and the Las Vegas and Jay-Z editions, until the 3120-based [3126/3840](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-3126-3840) succeeded it in 2007. In the library it powers 20 [Royal Oak Offshore](/brands/audemars-piguet/royal-oak-offshore) references, 17 of them at 42 mm and 3 at 48 mm; 8 are limited editions. The [2326/2840](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-2326-2840) is the closely related version with the same module on the 2326 base, and the [4401](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-4401) the integrated flyback that ended the modular era in 2021.

19 other watches in the library run the Audemars Piguet AP 2226 / 2840.
