Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240SA.OO.1320SA.01 Flyback Chronograph Yellow Gold Stainless Steel Black Dial

Black PVD over a solid yellow gold dial is an unusual order of operations — the gold is laid down first and then coated, so the vertical satin finish cuts back through to metal rather than sitting on top of paint. The result is a dial that reads black until light rakes across the grain.

The stainless steel case measures 41 mm with a yellow gold bezel. The yellow gold dial has black PVD with vertical satin-finishing and yellow gold Royal Oak hands. The flyback chronograph runs with small seconds. The watch is completed on a stainless steel bracelet with yellow gold links and an AP folding clasp. Two-metal bracelets are the older Royal Oak idiom, returned to sparingly, and this one puts the gold only where the light will find it.
