This is a chronograph pusher for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 26331 (41mm case), crafted from genuine 18K gold with the exact fit and finish required to preserve the luxury and integrity of the original watch. Available in White, Yellow, or Rose Gold, it directly replaces a worn or damaged original pusher for the start/stop (2 o’clock) and reset (4 o’clock) functions. As a genuine 18K gold aftermarket component, it is the perfect solution for watchmakers and enthusiasts seeking to restore the precious aesthetic and crisp tactile feel of the AP 26331 chronograph.
Precious Material: Crafted from genuine 18K gold (White/Yellow/Rose), featuring a polished and brushed finish identical to the original. Solid metal ensures that the color will never fade and provides the authentic heft of a luxury timepiece.
Precision Fit: Specifically designed for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331 (41mm case) and compatible with the robust Caliber 2385 movement (based on the legendary F. Piguet 1185).
Function Positions: Fits the 2 o’clock (start/stop) and 4 o’clock (reset/flyback) chronograph pushers.
Crisp Tactile Feel: The Caliber 2385 features a column-wheel mechanism and vertical clutch; paired with solid gold pushers, it offers exceptionally crisp and smooth actuation feedback.
Water Resistance Note: The pushers on the 26331 are NOT screw-down type; never operate them underwater.
Aftermarket Value: Original 18K gold parts are extremely expensive and heavily restricted by AP’s service network. This genuine 18K gold component offers independent watchmakers a viable alternative to restore these precious pieces without compromising material quality.
Q1: Can the original pusher on the AP 26331 be removed directly from the case?
A: Yes. The chronograph pushers are retained by small nuts accessible from the inside of the case with the movement removed. This makes them easy to service without the need for specialized tools used for one‑piece screw‑in pushers. Caution: Always watch for small springs.
Q2: Will this 18K gold button scratch the case?
A: The gold pusher itself can be easily scratched. Use brass or Teflon-coated tweezers. Avoid hard steel tools. Also, impacts can dent the soft 18K gold surface.
Q3: Is thread locker required for installation?
A: Yes – an ultra-thin layer of low-strength (purple) Loctite 222. It prevents the button from unscrewing with regular use. Never use high-strength (red) locker, which will make future removal impossible without breaking the case threads.
Q4: The threads on my 26331 are stripped – can they be repaired?
A: Yes, but it is challenging and expensive. It requires installing a precision thread insert (helicoil) to restore the thread’s integrity. Most independent watchmakers would not risk it. This is why strict torque control is essential – only hand-tight plus minimal angle.
