Catalogue Essay
Executed in a limited edition of 75 examples only, the present timepiece impresses not only with its extremely generous dimension, but also with the choice of case materials. Marrying a case body in platinum - the noblest precious metal - to bezel and pushers in forged carbon - an extremely technical material - the final result is as remarkable as the union is surprising and by all means very appealing.
Completed with a warranty and limited edition presentation box, the present watch amply embodies the technical prowess of Haute Horlogerie and is one of the most attractive Royal Oak Offshores ever made.
