-First released in 1993, the Offshore was the modern and sporty interpretation of the iconic Gerald Genta-designed Royal Oak model. Produced to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, The original Offshore featured an automatic chronograph movement in an impressive 42mm diameter case, which while today is the norm, it was considered massive in 1993 and was quickly nicknamed “The Beast”.
-The reference 26238ST was introduced in 2021 and brought a return to the proportions and spirit of the original Royal Oak Offshore “The Beast” in a 42mm diameter case. It features a blue “Petite Tapisserie” dial with a similar 6-9-12 subsidiary dial layout, but significantly upgraded the movement to AP’s in-house caliber 4404 flyback chronograph with 70 hour power reserve. The case has been modernized with a sapphire crystal back and innovative interchangeable strap system to accommodate the rubber strap or the additional stainless steel bracelet.
-The present watch is offered by the original owner in virtually new condition and complete with its accessories.
