Featuring a significantly larger and thicker case design, the Offshore is a fan-favorite for those who appreciate watches with significant wrist presence due to its robust yet timeless design.

The present lot is a Royal Oak Offshore launched in 2017, crafted with a combination of pink gold and black ceramic. Showcasing a modern update to the original Royal Oak Offshore, it features highly sought-after upgrades including ceramic for the bezel and pushers as well as enhanced, oversized crown guards and more aggressive rectangular pushers. The matte black grande tapisserie dial is sporty and contrasts superbly well with the red-tipped chronograph hands.

Known for its substantial case size, durability, and striking appearance, the Royal Oak Offshore blends high-performance functionality with sophisticated style, making it an ideal choice for individuals who seek a versatile watch that can transition seamlessly from everyday wear to more adventurous endeavors.

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.
