  • Catalogue Essay

    In the summer of 2017, Audemars Piguet surprised collectors with an exotic series Royal Oak Offshore Divers, boasting ultra-funky colourways to kick-off a season of sea, sun and self-indulgence. The present ref. 15710ST.OO.A038CA.01 is one of the five models introduced in the Funky Colour collection exclusive for boutiques.

    Bearing an ever-iconic Mega-Tapisserie dial with white gold applied indexes, the main spectacle of this variant is its “Kermit” lime green canvas with cobalt blue accents. Without interrupting the flow of the octagonal bezel, an internal rotating chapter ring surrounding the dial is used to calculate the elapsed times. This feature can be easily actuated via the second crown at 10 o’clock and is designed to be used during underwater excursions. Adhering strongly to the brand’s DNA, this diver’s watch is framed in a robust stainless steel monobloc case with integrated lugs and a satin finish, measuring 42mm in diameter. The overall construction of the Royal Oak Offshore Diver is extremely solid, giving it a substantial wrist presence that is adapted to recreational diving sessions.

    Reminiscent of the tropical sea, the contrasting blue and lime green colours perfectly complement each other without being too audacious. Delivered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this fizzy green beast is ready to be shown off on both underwater and landlocked adventures.
