AP 2226 / 2840

About the Audemars Piguet AP 2226 / 2840

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 succeeded it in 2007.

In the library it powers 20 Royal Oak Offshore references, 17 of them at 42 mm and 3 at 48 mm; 8 are limited editions.

The 2326/2840 is the closely related version with the same module on the 2326 base, and the 4401 the integrated flyback that ended the modular era in 2021.
