Created in connection with the America's Cup and limited to just 300 pieces, the 25860IS takes the familiar Royal Oak chronograph and gives it one of the most memorable dial configurations of the era.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece is unquestionably the Yves Klein blue dial. Its intense electric blue is paired with bright yellow accents and contrasting light blue chronograph registers, creating a Royal Oak that feels completely different from the restrained silver, black, and navy configurations normally associated with the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the color, the underlying design is unmistakably Royal Oak. Gérald Genta's octagonal architecture, exposed bezel screws, integrated bracelet, and tapisserie dial are all present. The result is a watch that manages to be unusual without losing the design language that made the Royal Oak famous in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWriter's Thoughts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe City of Sails is one of those watches that makes far more sense once you see it in person. Photographs capture the color, but not quite the way that saturated blue dial changes as light moves across the tapisserie.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith only 300 examples produced, it also represents a much more unusual corner of Royal Oak collecting. This particular example is especially attractive thanks to its exceptionally clean presentation. The case was professionally polished and remains very sharp, while the dial is mint. For someone who already understands the standard Royal Oak and wants something genuinely different, the 25860IS is hard to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic.
