Sarà prodotto in una serie speciale in acciaio o in oro rosa 18kt, ciascuna limitata a 50 esemplari.

L’orologio s’ispira al Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Cronografo (26388PO e 26288OR) e monta il calibro manuale  2947 (353 componenti, 21.600 a/h, minimo 173 ore di autonomia di marcia). Questo meccanismo è stato del tutto riprogettato, sviluppato per celebrare il 25° anniversario della collezione Royal Oak Offshore. Visibile attraverso il fondello in vetro zaffiro, il movimento offre le funzioni di tourbillon, cronografo, contatore 30 minuti, contatore dei secondi, ore e minuti.

Rispetto a precedenti modelli Royal Oak Offshore, su questo segnatempo la corona avvitata e i pulsanti, quest’ultimi con protezione in titanio sabbiato, sono in ceramica (nera) anziché in metallo e caucciù.

Il quadrante nero, protetto da vetro zaffiro antiriflesso, presenta indici delle ore in oro bianco con rivestimento luminescente.

Impermeabile fino a 100 metri, l’orologio è abbinato a un cinturino in gomma nera con fibbia ad ardiglione in acciaio inox.

[:en]Le Brassus, November 2017: In 2018, Audemars Piguet will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore, which first launched in 1993. For its pre-SIHH event, the Swiss watchmaker is delighted to present three new versions of the iconic sports watch: a re-edition of the original Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph, as well as a brand new Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph with a contemporary dial design developed in two versions.
After the introduction of the original Royal Oak Offshore in 1993, more than 120 references of this 42 mm model have been launched in various materials such as stainless steel, titanium, gold and platinum. This year, further to the re-edition of the original Royal Oak Offshore, Audemars Piguet introduces a new special series available in either stainless steel or 18-carat pink gold, each one limited to 50 pieces.
These two models are inspired by the previous Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph (26388PO & 26288OR), with an entirely redesigned movement, developed exclusively to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore collection. Featuring the combination of materials that is often presented on Royal Oak Offshore models, the crown and pushpieces are now crafted in ceramic instead of metal and rubber.
The new Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph also presents a brand new dial constructed as a true piece of contemporary architecture, which demonstrates the bold approach that Audemars Piguet has always sought to convey through the aesthetics of its Offshore collection, while always being true to its DNA.
25 years after it was first launched, the Royal Oak Offshore still manages to reveal new creative dimensions.
“To break the rules you must first master them”.
