Once again Audemars Piguet leaps to the forefront with the Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph!
Magnificent 18K Pink Gold case, Carbon Bezel, Ceramic Crown & Push-pieces
All of the tradition is there but there is also the presence of cutting-edge technology and new materials.
The Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is intended for connoisseurs of fine watchmaking with a distinct preference for beautiful watches and cutting edge designs.
Their attention will first be drawn to the majestic elegance of the pink gold case with its integrated pushpiece guards.
The scooped decorative detailing at 1,5, 7 and 11 o'clock adds a sophisticated touch, while the alternating satin-brushed and polished finishing enhances the refinement and aesthetic appeal of each surface.
The strength of this model lies chiefly in contrasts.
The shimmering glow of the pink gold is set off to optimal advantage by the surrounding black zone.
The legendary octagonal bezel with its polished hexagonal screws is made of forged carbon – an ultra-sporty streaked material exclusively developed for Audemars Piguet.
Widely used in the aeronautical industry, it has been adapted to the small size of the parts and to the stringent finishing demands imposed by fine watchmaking standards.
The pushpieces and the crown are in black ceramic.
It is worth noting that the screw-lock crown is equipped with a torque-restricting system that avoids the movement being unduly strained during winding.
The dial displays the same play on contrasts, with the numerals standing out clearly against its snailed black base and the black eloxed aluminium of the tourbillon and barrel bridges.
Symmetry also plays a premier role on this dial.
The 30-minute counter is echoed by the open-worked zone revealing the tourbillon at 9 o'clock, while the barrel cut-outs face each other at 6 and 12 o'clock, surrounded by an exquisitely fine border.
The ultimate subtle details are provided by the pink gold applied numerals and the hour and minute hands with a luminescent center.
The Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is teamed with a black alligator leather strap featuring an AP folding clasp in 18K pink gold.
