  • Catalogue Essay

    The present Royal Oak Offshore launched in 2009 as a limited edition of 300 pieces was made to commemorate the Montauk Highway in New York. The highway is believed by many New Yorkers as an escape from the rigorous daily grind in the “Big Apple”, a getaway spot for the weekend and an oasis of serenity. Featuring a vibrant dial with baby blue accents, brown subsidiary dials backed against a creamy white dial, the watch is a perfect iteration transcending a fresh appeal.

    The present example is accompanied by the full set of accessories and even includes the original invoice from London Jewelers, which was the exclusive retailer for this specific limited edition piece.

    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.
