I was told it has a transparent back cover, but this is the only picture I can find online.
38mm is perfect, I’m on the waitlist for this specific piece!
I feel like the 41mm is too big on me, I think I’m about the same size as your hands, when I saw this one I was wow this is just perfect!
Enjoy it
You pics capture the beauty of this piece perfectly.
Regarding size, since 39mm has generally been considered the sweet spot for AP, one would think that the 38mm pieces would be the next closest thing as opposed to 41mm pieces. You example certainly makes this case nicely 👌🏽
Before the 38mm ROC came out (and the 39mm Jumbo is unlikely allocation), i was debating between 37mm 15450 or 41mm 15400/15500 for the longest time. I think i could have pulled off both, but that small nagging thing in the back of my head: 37mm looked just a tad too small and the 41mm seemed just a tad too large. 38mm was a near perfect compromise in size. Having the chrono in all blue even the sub-dials was perfect!
Man that dial is fantastic!
Congrats on collecting this! It fits perfectly on your wrist 
enjoy it and share more photos!!

Forget dimensions. That fits your wrist perfectly. If you ever part with this watch, you will lament your decision until you rectify your error in judgement. Enjoy that pinnacle of design and execution!! -John
Instant classic - congratulations!
The size and dial color of this Royal Oak Chronograph gives it a classic look.It does not scream bling at all. And, cherry on the cake, as a dear friend from AP told me, this iteration is the last of its kind at Audemars Piguet, featuring a sourced mouvement - from the Piguet family - in the spirit of old times at La Vallée de Joux. Nowadays every watch manufacture is racing for the full "in-house" label, thus isolating itself from the collaboration spirit that once brought the watchmaking industry to life. This piece is so modern, yet nostalgic.
Thanks
Thank you! It is such an elegant sports watch (if a sports watch can be elegant LOL!). I am just glad that i was allocated my watch choice and glad that I found the perfect size in the 38mm
I have a question. Is the case back of the 38mm Royal Oak Chrono 26715, released in 2022, a solid case back or a transparent case back?
I was told it has a transparent back cover, but this is the only picture I can find online.
The perfection of this 38mm classic compels me to quote my wife's favorite Audrey Hepburn movie....
You know what's wrong with that watch?
NOTHING!
