Catalogue Essay
In 1998, Audemars Piguet released a series of Royal Oak Offshore chronographs made in titanium which was released after the scarcely produced platinum Offshore. With a contrast, the Titanium Offshore was one of the lightest examples of the model produced with two dial variants, ashen gray and a white dial with blue registers. The reference was discontinued in 2003.
The present Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore ref. 25721TI.OO.1000TI.01 “Titanium Beast” with an “E” serial from 2003, is one of the last examples of the reference before its discontinuation. Offered in excellent overall condition, the watch is also delivered with its original warranty and accessories. While early Audemars Piguet Royal Oak timepieces are growing in demand, this is perhaps a perfect opportunity to secure an early example of this beloved reference.
