The Future of First

The 2018 celebratory re-edition of 1993 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore model remains faithful to the original, with its stainless steel case, its blue rubber crown and pushpieces, the signature blue dial with “Petite Tapisserie” pattern and a steel bracelet with AP folding clasp

The 2018 re-edition of 1993 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

The story of the Royal Oak Offshore since its launch in 1993 is an uninterrupted flow of new ideas in form, function and, above all, materials. More than 120 references of the 42mm Royal Oak Offshore have been launched over the years in a range of materials including titanium, forged carbon, gold and platinum.

In 1993, the first big, bold Royal Oak Offshore broke all the rules and kick-started a global taste for larger-than-life luxury sports watches. The 2018 re-edition celebrates the essence of the original piece, applying the knowledge and technique of 2018. And safely within, the selfwinding 3126/3840 calibre that incorporates 25 years of horological upgrades and improvements. But unlike previous re-editions, the caseback features an engraved “Royal Oak Offshore” logo in the centre with the word “AUTOMATIC” underneath.
