It is my 26022 Royal Oak Chronograph. Contrary to what we might expect, the finish on AP's stainless steel actually appears smoother than that of white gold, which is "course" in comparison. I once had it in mind to write an article that reviews AP's main

but within a few minutes of de-plasticking the watch (I wish I could have contained my excitement, it could be a great post to see how intricate the plastic wrap on a sealed AP is!), I held my black ROC rubber strap against it... looks to be a perfect fit
