  • Catalogue Essay

    The Royal Oak Offshore was initially launched in 1993 as a pumped up variation of the traditional model and was launched first as a chronograph wristwatch with date. Early examples of the Royal Oak Offshore manufactured before 2015 featured rubber chronograph pushers.

    In 2015, Audemars Piguet upgraded the model and introduced the ref. 26470ST.OO.A101CR.01 with new ceramic chronograph pushers and crown to ensure durability. The present example with red and black ascents belongs to one of the first introduced in 2015 at Watches and Wonders paired harmoniously with a black hornback alligator strap with red stitching. Presented in excellent overall condition with only having been worn no more than a handful of times and presented with the full set of accessories, it is certainly a perfect wristwatch for the weekend cruise.

  • 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.
