Catalogue Essay
Very large and unusually light in weight, the present Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore T3 was made in collaboration with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the third Terminator film – The Rise of the Machines in 2004 as a limited edition of 1,000 pieces.

Encased in titanium, the large case diameter is compensated via its ultra-light weight, hence making the watch wearable. Furthermore, it features oversized chronograph pusher and crown guards giving a much larger appearance than its already vast 48.5mm case. Another interesting feature for the present example is that it features a domed sapphire crystal which is unusual for Royal Oak Offshores.

Presented in attractive overall condition and accompanied by the original guarantee and its correct presentation box uniquely made for this model, it is presented with 2 Terminator films for the buyer to sit back and enjoy whilst sporting the timepiece worn in the movie.

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.
