  • Catalogue Essay

    - The white whale of luxury watches, Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore Diver is as covetable as it is capable. This hefty yet handsome beast is the bold evolution of the maison’s iconic Royal Oak, super-sizing it for the high seas with a 42mm stainless steel case, crown guard and proprietary double gasket crown to guarantee 300m of water resistance.

    - The Royal Oak Offshore Diver means business. Its graduated rotating bezel allows for safe, accurate tracking of dive times in the inky depths. The black “Mega Tapisserie” guilloche dial and hands glow with a spectral blue luminosity, illuminated for legibility even on the midnight watch. Beneath the bonnet ticks Audemars Piguet’s own self-winding cal. 3120 movement, boasting 60 hours of power reserve.

    - While originally engineered for deep-sea divers, this Royal Oak Offshore Diver proves equally suited to any well-appointed adventure or formal soiree. When only the finest maritime-inspired timepieces will do, the present ref.15703ST is the undisputed champion, preserved in excellent condition with its full set of accessories. This robust yet refined beauty delivers performance as deep and multi-dimensional as the open ocean itself.
