  • Catalogue Essay

    - Launched as part of Audemars Piguet Novelties, the reference 26401 Royal Oak Offshore was unveiled at SIHH in 2017. Available in three variants, the trio consisting of titanium, black ceramic and pink gold like the present example.

    - Sized at 44mm diameter, the Royal Oak Offshore ref. 26401 is a modern iteration of the original Royal Oak Offshore with upgraded oversized ceramic bezel and pushers.

    - The present ref. 26401RO in pink gold fitted with a black mega tapisserie dial paired with matching pink gold accents certainly has the most contrast out of the trio. Masculine and sporty, the red-tipped hands enhances the legibility of this timepiece.

    - An in-house self-winding calibre topped with a chronograph module made by Dubois-Depraz, the calibre 3125/3840 beats at 3hz and provides a power reserve of 50 hours.

    - 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore, it is the perfect time to obtain a Royal Oak Offshore that is preserved in excellent overall condition with its original guarantee and the full set of accessories.
