This is a special 2022 rendition of the Royal Oak Chronograph. Let's safely say that this marks a significant milestone in AP's flagship Royal Oak collection. Having handled several variants of this reference, I find this khaki green dial and pink gold combination particularly compelling for its understated elegance.

This reference introduces AP's in-house caliber 4401 flyback chronograph movement. The 70-hour power reserve proves practical for weekend rotation, while the flyback function adds genuine utility for timing events.

Key Specifications:

• Case: 41mm 18-carat pink gold
• Movement: Calibre 4401 selfwinding chronograph
• Power Reserve: 70 hours
• Water Resistance: 50m
• Thickness: 12.4mm

The khaki green "Grande Tapisserie" dial offers strong legibility in varying light conditions. Pink gold applied markers and hands maintain contrast while complementing the case material. In my experience, this color combination works well with both formal and casual attire.

On the wrist, the 41mm case wears smaller than numbers suggest due to the integrated bracelet design. The 12.4mm profile allows it to slide under most cuffs, though the solid gold construction gives it noticeable and unmissable presence.

The bracelet articulation has been refined compared to earlier references, resulting in better conformity to different wrist sizes. I've found it particularly comfortable looking at how light dances on the bracelet.

This example remains unworn, with all factory finishing intact. The complete set includes:

• Original AP box
• Warranty cards
• Full documentation
  

Market Context: As a 50th anniversary model featuring AP's latest chronograph movement, this reference holds particular interest for collectors focused on
