The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore was the firm’s answer to the ever changing taste of the modern collector of fine timepieces. The original Royal Oak was introduced in 1972, in one of the most iconoclastic marketing moves to ever be seen in this (or any) industry. However, by the 1990s, the model had become already a classic. The Offshore, introduced in 1993, features a much larger and thicker case dimension and was first released as a chronograph wristwatch with date, navy blue dial and an integrated bracelet, with a an oversized case measuring 42mm in diameter. It was designed to appeal to a younger, more modern category of collectors in comparison to those catered for by its more restrained older brother.
The “End of Days” edition was launched as a limited edition of 500 pieces in 1999, to commemorate or welcome the new millennium marking the end of the 20th century. With a PVD coated stainless steel case, the watch is further fitted with a black dial matching the case featuring zesty yellow luminous numerals and hands.
The present example numbered 172 is presented in practically “as-new” overall condition and accompanied by its original accessories.
