Its calibre 2385 allowed Audemars Piguet to retain the elegant 39mm proportions of the original Royal Oak while introducing a sophisticated chronograph complication. Early examples feature the finer Petite Tapisserie dial, an appealing detail of this first generation. Over time, some dark dials have developed distinctive tropical colour changes, giving these watches an additional dimension of collector interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audemars Piguet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57612513149252,"sku":"W-3915","price":29900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2546\/1430\/files\/W-3915AudemarsPiguetRoyalOakChronographKasparovtropicaldialref_395_1x1_3675753a-dd5b-40af-a101-5d99384d7725.jpg?v=1793283283","url":"https:\/\/bulangandsons.eu\/products\/audemars-piguet-royal-oak-chronograph-25860st-tropical-petite-tapisserie-dial-w3915","provider":"Bulang and Sons EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
