KEY FACTS

• ​Introduced in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore is a bold, oversized alternative to the iconic original watch designed by Gérald Genta-designed and released in 1972
• This 2014 reference takes on an appealing aesthetic and offers plenty of wrist presence thanks to its 18K rose gold case and bracelet
• Fine polished bevels along the lug hoods and shoulders of the bracelet links highlight the watchmaker’s expertise and attention to detail
• The dial matches the rose gold’s tones and is embellished with a ‘grande tapisserie’ finish - an integral part of the Royal Oak’s signature design language
• Contrasting Arabic numeral indices, three black sub-registers, and a black inner track proved additional visual interest
• ​Beneath the rear sapphire crystal beats Audemars Piguet’s calibre 3126 / 3840, an automatic movement with a chronograph function and a 50-hour power reserve
• Calibre 3126 / 3840 is finished with a solid gold rotor stamped with the crests of the Audemars and Piguet families
• Offered by a private collector in the United Kingdom
• Presented with its lacquered wood display box, outer sleeve, warranty, and registration booklet
• An additional bracelet link from Audemars Piguet was purchased by the vendor at a cost of £400
• Graded ‘B’ for condition by the vendor who reports a blemish on the tachymeter scale at 8 o'clock, where the paint is starting to slightly flake off
