  • Catalogue Essay

    This titanium Royal Oak Offshore was launched over ten years ago as a 50 piece limited edition made specially for iconic Parisian retailer Chronopassion whose owner, Laurent Picciotto has always had an acute eye for bold and audacious designs.

    The present example bearing the limited edition number 07/50 features a surprising and graphic micro-blasted titanium case that gives it an incomparable texture that perfectly frames the dark grey dial and large Arabic numerals giving the watch a notable masculine look.

  • 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.
