In 2023, Audemars Piguet teamed with American fashion designer Matthew M. Williams for a collaborative Royal Oak Offshore. Williams’ brand 1017 ALYX 9SM offers ready-to-wear clothing lines for both men and women. The design is a blend of high fashion with skate, punk, and club cultures and recognized by its metal rollercoaster safety-buckle belts, clasps, and chest rig bags.
This collaboration resulted in four watches, including the present watch a yellow gold Royal Oak Offshore flyback chronograph. Following Williams’ aesthetic, all the timepieces have a minimalist appeal with vertical satin brushed finish to the dial and gold luminescent Royal Oak hands. The dial is pared down to its basic essence with no hour marks, the typical date window at the 3 o’clock, and the subsidiary chronograph dials and sub seconds without any markings. Williams’ brand name is 1017 A L Y Z 9SM and is placed at the bottom of the dial.
The present 18K yellow gold Royal Oak Offshore combines the excellence and craftsmanship of Audemars Piguet with the style of a modern master who blurs the line between streetwear and high luxury. This Offshore is offered by the original owner, in like-new condition with original guarantee and golden 1017 A L Y Z 9SM fitted presentation box.
