-In 1993, two decades after the original Royal Oak was launched, Audemars Piguet presented the Offshore, a masculine chronograph designed by Emmanuel Gueit and aimed at a younger clientele. Over the decades the model evolved with new complications and materials, while retaining its core aesthetic.
-Audemars Piguet released a new generation Royal Oak Offshore chronograph in 2021 with a slightly larger 43mm diameter case, compared to earlier 42mm models, and housing the brand’s new in-house caliber 4401. The flyback chronograph caliber measured 6.8mm thick allowing the watch to have a slim profile with the watch fitting comfortably on the wristwatch.
-The reference 26420CE impresses with the yellow gold pusher and crown guard and links complimenting the durable black ceramic case. Consigned by the original owner, the present watch is pristine in virtually unworn condition.
