Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Chronograph

Audemars Piguet's Selfwinding Chronograph, reference 26393CR.OO.A008KB.01, is a chronograph in an 18-carat pink gold case measuring 41 mm across and 12.6 mm thick. The silver dial sits under a sapphire crystal. Inside is the self-winding calibre 4401, which drives a flyback chronograph, small seconds and a date function. This combination gives the movement both practical timing use and a technical edge over a standard chronograph. The grey rubber strap closes with an 18-carat white gold pin buckle, a deliberate contrast to the pink gold case. Water resistance is set at 30 metres, modest enough to remind the owner this is a dress watch rather than a tool piece.
