Nicknamed the “Reverse Panda,” this Royal Oak Chronograph flips the classic panda color scheme like a black tuxedo with a crisp white pocket square. Collectors who love a bold, sporty look with real dressy manners will feel right at home. Think James Bond at the casino table at midnight, then James Bond on the yacht the next morning, same watch both times.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a black “Grande Tapisserie” dial, rows of tiny raised squares sparkle like a city skyline at night, with bright silver accents that make the famous contrast pop. Framed by the iconic eight-sided bezel, eight hexagonal screws sit perfectly lined up, and a brushed top meets a mirror-polished edge that flashes every time you move your wrist. Wrapped around the wrist, the integrated steel bracelet tapers down to a folding clasp, with brushed links and polished bevels that play matte against shine like a perfectly tailored suit.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date, and chronograph. Found at 3 o’clock, the screw-down crown controls winding, date adjustment, and time setting for the self-winding Calibre 2385, which offers approximately 40 hours of power reserve. Once the crown is pushed back in, screw it down securely to maintain the watch’s 50 meters of water resistance. On the right side of the case, the top pusher starts and stops the chronograph while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. The counters at 3 and 9 o’clock track elapsed time, while the small seconds hand ticks away at 6 o’clock.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed with international warranty card, warranty booklet, International Sales Warranty booklet, and Calibre 2385 chronograph instruction booklet.

Launched in 2017 to celebrate twenty years of the Royal Oak Chronograph, and retired when the 50th anniversary redesign arrived, this reference closes a beloved chapter in the Royal Oak story. For the collector who wants the most famous sports watch design in the world with a little extra attitude, it moves from boardroom to beach club without missing a beat. Like the final season of a great show, everyone wishes they had tuned in sooner, and this one is ready for its encore on the right wrist.
