Catalogue Essay
This celebratory version of the Royal Oak Offshore Triple Calendar pays homage to the return of Hong Kong to the People Republic of China with more than only the engraving on the back: the day and month windows are in Mandarin, and the edition is limited to 97 pieces, a subtle reminder of the year of the return: 1997.
Amazingly, the watch has survived its twenty years of existence without a scratch, and arrives to us in absolutely excellent, new-old-stock condition, complete of its original documents. An unmissable occasion for the collector of unusual and limited edition timepieces.
