  • Catalogue Essay

    A Hollywood legend famously known for his world-wide box-office hit sequel The Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s achievements are certainly one worth celebrating. Audemars Piguet and Mr. Schwarzenegger’s history dates back to the dawn of the new millennium in 1999 when the manufacture created a prop watch for the film End of Days. Immensely popular in demand, the concept eventually lead up to the first limited run of the Royal Oak Offshore End of Days edition with a striking black and yellow appearance.

    Following the success of the collaboration, in 2011 the Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy was first to be launched with a macho 48mm black ceramic and titanium appearance with a handsome touch of 18k pink gold. Besides its good looks and extraordinary wrist presence, the timepiece also raised many millions of dollars and brought awareness to After-School All-Stars, a charitable organisation founded in 1992 by Schwarzenegger. Numbered 582 out of a limited edition of 1,500 pieces, the present example of The Legacy is preserved in like-new unworn condition and is further accompanied by its original limited edition presentation box and accessories.

  • 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.
