This is a high-quality generic chronograph pusher for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 26331 (41mm case), crafted from genuine 18K rose gold (solid gold, not plated) — matching the weight, hue, and durability of the original part. Introduced in 2017, the 26331 chronograph is powered by the Caliber 2385 automatic movement (27 jewels, 40-hour power reserve). Its iconic pushers, along with the octagonal bezel and screw‑down crown, are executed in solid 18K rose gold on the 26331OR model (the steel 26331ST has steel pushers).

Unlike base‑metal plated alternatives, this solid 18K rose gold pusher resists tarnishing and corrosion from sweat or oxidation, ensuring the Royal Oak‘s luxurious finish endures. As an aftermarket component, it offers watchmakers a cost‑effective, genuine‑grade precious‑metal repair solution.

Features & Function

Genuine 18K Rose Gold: Crafted from solid 18K rose gold, finished with a high‑polish surface that matches the warm, rich hue of the original Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Unlike plated or gold‑filled alternatives, solid gold will never fade, tarnish, or wear through to base metal.

Precision Dimensions: Engineered to OEM specifications for the 26331OR‘s (18K rose gold) chronograph pushers, fitting both the 2 o’clock (start/stop) and 4 o‘clock (reset) positions. Always verify fitment with the original pusher before installation.

Compatible AP Models: Designed for the Royal Oak 26331OR (full rose gold). Can also be used to upgrade the stainless‑steel 26331ST – replacing the original steel pushers with 18K rose gold for a custom two‑tone luxury look.

FAQ

Q1: Can I install this 18K rose gold pusher on the stainless‑steel 26331ST?
A: Yes. The dimensions and threading are identical between the 26331ST and 26331OR pushers. Replacing the original steel pushers with 18K rose gold pushers adds a two‑tone luxury accent to the steel case. However, note that this creates a custom modification look — it does not affect functionality or water resistance.

Q2: Will the 50m water resistance be restored after replacing the pusher?
A: Yes, but only if you also replace the O‑ring with a new, correctly sized fluorocarbon seal and apply fresh silicone grease. After installation, a professional pressure test to 5 bar (50m) is mandatory.

Q3: Why does the new pusher feel stiffer than the original?
A: A new O‑ring is more elastic than an old, worn one, and fresh threadlocker adds slight resistance. Press the pusher 20–30 times to bed in the O‑ring. If still too stiff, check O‑ring lubrication. A slightly firmer feel is normal at first and will settle over time.

Q4: Is threadlocker mandatory? Can I use regular glue?
A: Absolutely mandatory — but only low‑strength (purple) threadlocker such as Loctite 222. Regular glue or high‑strength threadlocker will permanently seize the threads, making future removal impossible without destroying the pusher or case.
