Catalogue Essay
-Reference 25808ST is cased in stainless steel and displays a triple calendar complication and a striking green/turquoise dial. A sibling of the iconic Royal Oak, the present Royal Oak Offshore is a playful and sporty update on the original and iconic design.
-The model was launched with a series of colorful and playful dials such as yellow, blue and orange.
-Consigned by the original owner, the present lot is offered with its original guarantee dated December 27, 2000 and was sold at the Audemars Piguet boutique in Paris. Most notably, the Paris boutique had made an internal mistake and printed 25808ST.02 on the certificate, which corresponds to an orange dial. Correspondence with Audemars Piguet confirms the present watch was indeed originally sold with a green dial, and a new digital extract will accompany the watch confirming it is a reference 25808ST.06, corresponding to the current dial.
