The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph ref. 26326ST.OO.D027CA.01, known as the "Pride of Italy," is a limited edition of 500 pieces produced for the Italian market in 2016. The caseback confirms the edition number engraved alongside "Royal Oak Limited Edition" and "Swiss Made" — a detail that separates this reference from the standard Royal Oak Chronograph lineup. The 41mm stainless steel case retains the Royal Oak's defining architecture: an octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws, alternating brushed and polished surfaces, and integrated pushers flanking the crown at three o'clock. The dial is the defining feature. A white Grande Tapisserie-patterned main plate provides the backdrop, while three navy blue subsidiary registers — hours at nine, minutes at six, and seconds at twelve — deliver a crisp panda-style contrast. The Italian tricolor appears as small green and red markers within the chronograph subdials, the subtle national reference that gives this edition its name. A date aperture sits at four o'clock. Baton hour markers and applied indices complete the layout. The movement is automatic, with caliber 2385 confirmed on the original papers dated September 5, 2016, sold through Succ. Dobner di Oppenheim in Trieste. The watch is presented on a dark navy rubber strap and includes the additional Audemars Piguet blue alligator strap. Excellent condition with Audemars Piguet box, papers dated 2016, and additional blue alligator strap.
