Presented with a black "Grande Tapisserie" dial and contrasting chronograph counters, this configuration highlights depth, texture, and technical precision.
Why choose this model?
50th Anniversary edition

The textured dial with black counters is accented by applied pink gold hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating, offering sharp legibility and warm contrast.
Integrated flyback chronograph
Functions include flyback chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds, and date — paired with a black ceramic bracelet and AP folding clasp.
