Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet started sponsoring the Swiss sailing team Alinghi for the prestigious America’s Cup which it won in 2003 and successfully defended it at the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia, Spain.
The present Offshore Dual Time was made in a limited edition of 1000 pieces in 2003 in commemoration of this significant win. The present example bears number 811.
The case and bracelet are in titanium whereas the bezel is in platinum creating a certain arresting contrast with the rest of the case. The dial features the Alinghi emblem within the date subdial.
The dial remains extremely clean and legible even with its numerous indications, the second time zone (that is set via the crown) is placed at 6 o’clock, the power reserve display is placed between 8 and 11 o’clock whereas the date is indicated at 2 o’clock.
In overall excellent condition and serviced in July 2021 at Audemars Piguet, the present Offshore Dual Time Impresses with its vivid modernism.
