Catalogue Essay
- In 2003, Audemars Piguet collaborated with famed actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to design a watch commemorating his reprisal of the Terminator role in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. This fusion resulted in the bold and rugged Royal Oak Offshore T3, a daring iteration of Audemars Piguet’s iconic sports watch.
- With its imposing 48.5mm titanium case, the T3 embodied the muscular physique and masculine energy of Schwarzenegger's iconic cyborg character. The gunmetal anodized aluminum bezel inserts and hardy Kevlar strap reinforced the watch’s tough, utilitarian durability. Yet Audemars Piguet’s signature artistry still shone through details like the Petite Tapisserie guilloché dial.
- Limited to 1,000 pieces, the T3 proved an instant hit, propelling the success of Audemars Piguet’s Offshore line. The Schwarzenegger collaboration also cemented the manufacturer’s prestige in popular culture, attracting new audiences to the brand.
- Now offered in an attractive overall condition, this example embodies the T3’s fusion of form and function—as bold and memorable as the movie legend who inspired it. More than two decades after its release, this watch still encapsulates an important milestone in Audemars Piguet’s heritage.
