At long last, AP has restored desirable aesthetic proportions to the wonderful Royal Oak Chronograph. The new collection (reference 26315) features a 38mm case, and the dials look terrific inside. I expect these models to prove quite popular for Audemars Piguet. Movement remains the Caliber 2385.

Always complains about bulkiness of 41 mm . Finally , they released it in a wearable 38 mm size . should have done it from the beginning .

and I am sure that this is a response to the market in China and Asia in general.

38mm with that bezel makes me think the dial will look pretty small.
