  • Catalogue Essay

    Unveiled in 2019, the latest Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph exemplifies Audemars Piguet's blend of bold style and technical sophistication. The present example with striking blue accents was launched as a Japan boutique exclusive limited edition of 20 pieces only.

    Within the angular black ceramic case lies the manual-wound cal. 2943. Its architectural openworked bridges harmonize sublimely with the Offshore's signature bold aesthetics. Yet beyond the cutting-edge case material and imposing presence, this timepiece presents an opportunity to appreciate intricate watchmaking laid bare. The mesmerizing one-minute tourbillon and column wheel chronograph command attention through the sapphire caseback, contrasting exquisite finesse against masculine utility.

    Offered in unworn condition and complete with accessories, this handsome and exceptionally rare Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is for the collector who enjoys marveling at mechanical poetry in motion.

    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.
