Audemars Piguet started sponsoring the Swiss sailing team Alinghi for the prestigious America’s Cup which it won in 2003 and successfully defended it at the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia, Spain.
The present Offshore Dual Time was made in a limited edition of 1000 pieces in 2003 in commemoration of this significant win. The present example bears number 811.
The case and bracelet are in titanium whereas the bezel is in platinum creating a certain arresting contrast with the rest of the case. The dial features the Alinghi emblem within the date subdial.
The dial remains extremely clean and legible even with its numerous indications, the second time zone (that is set via the crown) is placed at 6 o’clock, the power reserve display is placed between 8 and 11 o’clock whereas the date is indicated at 2 o’clock.
In overall excellent condition and serviced in July 2021 at Audemars Piguet, the present Offshore Dual Time Impresses with its vivid modernism.
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.
