Catalogue Essay
- This bold incarnation of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore pushes the boundaries of materials and design. The 44mm case is crafted from forged carbon, an innovative composite material that is extraordinarily light yet highly rigid and scratch-resistant. The sandblasted ceramic bezel adds further lightweight durability while amplifying the octagonal geometry that defines the Royal Oak.
- The present example sports an anthracite “Méga Tapisserie” dial, with red accents on the sub-registers that further accentuate its personality. Inside beats the self-winding cal. 3126, a 365-part chronograph movement finished to the highest haute horlogerie standard.
- With a perfect fusion of pioneering materials and mechanisms, this Royal Oak Offshore continues the lineage of rule-breaking innovation that has defined the Offshore sub-collection since 1993. Paired with a durable yet stylish white rubber strap, the present timepiece preserved in excellent condition is a great addition for the connoisseur who values performance, precision and distinctive design in equal measure.
