Nicknamed “the half brick”, this hefty 42mm chronograph is finished largely in satin rose gold with hand-polished bevels on the lug hoods and the flanks of its iconic octagonal bezel.

Located at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock markers are contrasting black subdials, whilst the gold markers are presented as Arabic numerals. A black rubber strap is screwed onto the substantial casing, providing the watch with a sporty appearance.

Introduced in 1993, the Offshore is a robust variant of AP’s iconic Royal Oak model, which was penned by Gerald Genta and considered to be one of the greatest watch designs of all time.
