Catalogue Essay
The Audemars Piguet Offshore started out in 1992 as a beefed up version of the Royal Oak targeting a new generation of watch enthusiasts. However, it wasn’t until the launch of the Offshore Survivor in 2008 with its titanium case and ceramic bezel that the Offshore collection started to evolve into the creative lab it is today.
Most certainly inspired by the collaborations with Arnold Schwartzenegger, the Offshore Survivor looks like a watch that could be worn by one of the characters played by the action hero film star – albeit with a more wearable 42.5mm diameter. The crown and chronograph pusher protection have a somewhat militaristic tool like design to them and perfectly complement the design of the case and dial. Even the hour and minutes hands have been re designed to convey this design ethos.
In overall excellent condition and accompanied with its full set of accessories – including a box that looks like a survival tool box- the present Survivor is number 822 of a 1000 piece limited edition.
