  • Catalogue Essay

    First introduced at the SIHH in 2018, the AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver reference 15711OI is fitted with an 18K pink gold case and a titanium bezel, titanium plots, and a light grey dial with matching grey rubber strap. Truly, this watch is simply elegant. Its uncomplicated yet captivating aesthetics makes this watch simple and fascinating. With a 42mm diameter case and a display case back revealing the AP calibre 3120, what separates the Diver from the other AP collections is the crown. Rather than being rubber clad, the crown is made in grey ceramic, following the monochromatic colour pattern of its case.

    Featuring an 18k pink gold and titanium case, the watch is water-resistant to 300 meters. The dial looks remarkably distinctive, featuring large hands with SuperLuminova coating and long hour batons which render the watch intact and easily legible – a critical characteristic for a diver’s watch. The inner rotating bezel looks exceptionally striking with 8 screws that seem to heighten the watch’s robust presence. The present watch is a daring timepiece created for daring collectors.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
