What is this reference please?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone enlighten me a little on the exact reference number for this model. I know it's a ROO 42mm in rose gold. However, I can't find the exact reference number to that watch. Most of my searches wound up with the yellow dial. No blue dial with gold bezel. Or blue dial with ceramic bezel. Did it come factory with this configuration or not? I am a novice when it comes to AP lol!!
Thank you for your expertise

Nevermind I think I found it. Reference 26365OR.OO.D801CR.01

EDIT: Finally, it isn't this reference as the Pride of Argentina is a 50 pieces limited edition and not that one!

Found it. Rubberclad with gold bezel!! It got me confused lol Usually the bezel is made of black rubber with that dial.

Gossbeua is correct it's a RGRC with the thin black rubber coating removed, here's mine. The dial is grey not blue, and there are two very similar models, there was recently an excellent post on TRF referencing this model.

Thank you my friend. And you are very lucky to own such a beautiful piece. I didn't know the black bezel was actually made of rose gold with just a layer of rubber. Is that a prevalent modification?

Moreover, how do you feel about spending that amount of cash for a watch that comes with a rubber strap when you could get a full gold watch such as gold sub, GMT or Daytona? Don't you feel it is a bit overpriced for just a gold case?

Thanks

Hi Gossbeau, you're right of course, I could have had a full gold Rolex for 10k less but everyone knows what a Rolex looks like - especially muggers, and a full gold strap makes a watch draw even more attention.

Rolex make 1million watches a year compared with APs 30,000 so with AP you get a much more exclusive watch and the rubber strap is cool (in my opinion) this won't appeal to everyone but sometimes it's nice to have something that only a relative few will appreciate.

Thank you for taking the time. I understand and you got a good point.

Yes, but they all come with the black rubber bezel, this one has had it removed.
