Catalogue Essay
- The Royal Oak collection has always been a blank canvas, inspiring various case sizes and complications. During the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak in 1993, the Offshore collection was introduced as a bolder iteration of the traditional model.

- Initially launched as a chronograph watch with a date function, earlier versions featured rubber chronograph pushers that were prone to wear and tear. The 2014 upgrade features ceramic crown and pushes to ensure durability and paved the way for future use of ceramic material for the Royal Oak Offshore lineage.

- The present example featuring an ivory and copper brown accents captures your attention with its mega tapisserie dial belongs to one of the six models introduced in 2014 at SIHH. Like the eyes of a lion, this “Safari” version features large applied numerals in an attractive brown that glows green amongst the dark.

It is elegantly paired with a hornback crocodile strap that elevates the aesthetic entirely. Offered with all of its accessories and excellent condition, this watch is an ideal choice for the summer.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
