Forget about Beethoven or Picasso! Let’s talk about the rockstars of the watch world – Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore. This isn’t your grandpa’s old pocket watch, as we must say that it’s the epitome of luxury that can even make your iPhone feel a little less important. It’s like wearing a mini art gallery on your wrist! Let’s introduce two new models from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore series – built for those who like their timepieces bold and beautiful.
The Watch That Would Make Even Da Vinci Jealous
Designer Gerald Genta once joked, let’s paraphrase, “Leave a Royal Oak in the sea long enough, and you’ll end up with a Nautilus!” You decide whether this was a subtle jab or an acknowledgment of the Royal Oak’s groundbreaking design.
Today, we’re diving into the latest additions to the Royal Oak family. Notably, one is for the gentlemen and a bit refined version is for the ladies. Known for its sporty feel, the Offshore series steps it up a notch with these newcomers. Notably, it ditches the flashy colors for a more subtle, yet stunning approach.
Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding
Let’s kick off with the smaller model – AP Royal Oak Offshore Rose Gold – measuring 37mm x 12.1mm. This beauty comes in a blend of light grey tones with 18k rose gold accents, adding just the right amount of bling to your wrist.
Even with its sporty design, it’s perfect for the modern lady looking for elegance in her everyday style. This watch pairs pastel hues with a sporty flair. So, it makes it a versatile accessory for any outfit or occasion. The bezel is gold, with grey rubber, making it both chic and durable.
Shine Bright Like a Diamond
The watch face, known as the “Mega Tapisserie” dial, is a dazzling ivory that plays with light to create stunning reflections. The stick indices and hands are framed in gold, ensuring that you’ll catch everyone’s eye without even trying.
It features a date function that sits snugly at 3 o’clock on a light grey background. Also, the watch comes with a grey rubber strap that’s not just easy to swap out but adds a cool mosaic effect to your look. Peek at the see-through case back, and you’ll witness the magic of the automatic 5900 caliber movement. There is a power reserve of up to 60 hours and a frequency of 28,800 VpH. Plus, it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters – just in case you forget to take it off before your next dip.
The Big Boy: Rugged Elegance for the Gents
Next up is the more robust version, measuring a hefty 43mm x 14.4mm. This bad boy combines steel with rubber, making it perfect for those who want a watch that can handle a few bumps and bruises. We must say that we would prefer the 38mm version, but this one indeed has something to it.
The bezel has navy blue rubber, matching the dial and the strap’s color scheme. This is indeed giving off serious James Bond vibes! The dial maintains the classic Offshore texture, while the indices and hands are crafted from white gold, giving it that signature Royal Oak flair.
The case is brushed steel, which enriches the sporty aesthetic of the timepiece. It comes with a black rubber strap, complementing the “smoke” blue shade of the watch. Lastly, even though it is not a diver watch, this model is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
The Heart of the Watch
Powering the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore is the automatic 4302 caliber movement. Now, we can see that it has a power reserve of up to 70 hours and a frequency of 28,800 VpH.
These new models are now available at Audemars Piguet boutiques, ready to grace the wrists of watch aficionados and fashion-forward folks alike. And the prices go from 23.800 CHF to 41 .100 CHF. All in all, we can guarantee they’re worth every penny for the splash they’ll make.
