About Black Audemars Piguet Watches
Black is the heritage color of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. From the very first 5402ST that Gerald Genta unveiled in 1972, the dark tapisserie dial defined the luxury sports watch category. Today, our pre-owned and unworn black Audemars Piguet collection at WatchGuys spans the modern Royal Oak 15400, 15500, and 15510, the rugged Royal Oak Offshore, the in-house Royal Oak Chronograph 26240, and the all-black ceramic editions that have become some of the most desirable references in the secondary market. Every black AP we carry is fully authenticated and ready for overnight delivery.
Which Audemars Piguet Models Come With a Black Dial?
The black dial is most associated with the 41mm time-only Royal Oak. Buyers shopping the classic look gravitate toward the discontinued Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400, its successor the Royal Oak 15500, and the current Royal Oak 15510, all available with the iconic black "Grande Tapisserie" dial. For smaller wrists, the 37mm Royal Oak 15450 also comes in black. Chronograph buyers should look at the Royal Oak 26240 and predecessor Royal Oak 26331. On the sportier side, the Royal Oak Offshore 15710 and Offshore Diver 15720 feature bold black "Mega Tapisserie" dials. Openworked fans should consider the Royal Oak 15407 Double Balance Wheel.
Black Audemars Piguet Price
Pre-owned black Audemars Piguet pricing depends on reference, case material, and condition. Steel time-only Royal Oaks with a black dial generally trade between $35,000 and $55,000, with the discontinued 15400 commanding the top of that range. The current 15510 in steel typically sits between $40,000 and $50,000. Black dial Royal Oak Chronograph 26240ST references trade between $45,000 and $60,000, while the all-black ceramic 26240CE Chronograph carries a significant premium, often $90,000 to $130,000. Royal Oak Offshore models with black dials sit in the $25,000 to $40,000 range in steel. Rose gold and yellow gold variants add meaningful premiums.

Black Dial vs. Black Ceramic Audemars Piguet
Buyers shopping black AP often choose between a metal case with a black dial, and the all-black ceramic configuration. A black "Grande Tapisserie" dial paired with a steel or rose gold case is the traditional, more wearable, and significantly more accessible option at entry. Full black ceramic, found on references like the 26240CE Chronograph and the 15407CE, delivers a stealth monochromatic look that is virtually scratch-resistant but commands a substantial premium and is produced in limited volume. Buyers focused on monochromatic styling should also browse our ceramic Audemars Piguet collection.

Black Audemars Piguet FAQ
-
The Royal Oak 15400, 15500, 15510, and 15450 all came with a black "Grande Tapisserie" dial. The chronograph 26331 and current 26240 are widely available in black. The Royal Oak Offshore 15710 and Offshore Diver 15720 carry the bolder "Mega Tapisserie" black dial. Black ceramic models like the 26240CE and 15407CE deliver a fully monochromatic look.
-
The 41mm time-only Royal Oak is the most popular black AP. The discontinued 15400ST and its successor the 15500ST in steel are the two highest-volume black-dial references in the secondary market, with the current 15510ST and the all-black ceramic 26240CE Chronograph close behind in 2026 demand.
-
Black AP references show some of the strongest long-term value retention in luxury sports watches. The discontinued 15400ST has appreciated steadily since production ended in 2019, and the all-black ceramic 26240CE trades at significant premiums to retail. Condition, completeness of box and papers, and recent service history all materially affect resale value.
-
Pre-owned black AP pricing typically ranges from around $35,000 for an entry-level steel Royal Oak with a black dial, up to over $130,000 for the all-black ceramic Royal Oak Chronograph 26240CE. Most steel time-only Royal Oaks with a black dial trade between $40,000 and $55,000. Gold variants command meaningful premiums.
-
A black dial AP has a black face with a steel or gold case and bracelet. A black ceramic AP has a black ceramic case and matching ceramic bracelet, usually with a black dial too, for a full stealth look. Ceramic is far more scratch-resistant than steel but is produced in limited volume and trades at a substantial premium.
