  • Catalogue Essay

    Executed in a limited edition of 75 examples only, the present timepiece impresses not only with its extremely generous dimension, but also with the choice of case materials. Marrying a case body in platinum - the noblest precious metal - to bezel and pushers in forged carbon - an extremely technical material - the final result is as remarkable as the union is surprising and by all means very appealing.

    Completed with a warranty and limited edition presentation box, the present watch amply embodies the technical prowess of Haute Horlogerie and is one of the most attractive Royal Oak Offshores ever made.

  • Artist Biography

    Audemars Piguet

    Swiss • 1881

    A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

    Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
