AP 2326 / 2840

About the Audemars Piguet AP 2326 / 2840

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 base took over the module in 2007 as the 3126/3840.

Every reference here is a 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 is the integrated flyback chronograph that ended the modular era in 2021.
