  • Catalogue Essay

    The Audemars Piguet Offshore started out in 1992 as a beefed up version of the Royal Oak targeting a new generation of watch enthusiasts. However, it wasn’t until the launch of the Offshore Survivor in 2008 with its titanium case and ceramic bezel that the Offshore collection started to evolve into the creative lab it is today.

    Most certainly inspired by the collaborations with Arnold Schwartzenegger, the Offshore Survivor looks like a watch that could be worn by one of the characters played by the action hero film star – albeit with a more wearable 42.5mm diameter. The crown and chronograph pusher protection have a somewhat militaristic tool like design to them and perfectly complement the design of the case and dial. Even the hour and minutes hands have been re designed to convey this design ethos.

    In overall excellent condition and accompanied with its full set of accessories – including a box that looks like a survival tool box- the present Survivor is number 822 of a 1000 piece limited edition.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
