Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph

Royal Oak. It was the design that made Gerald Genta's career and remains, without question, the most celebrated collection in Audemars Piguet's near 145 year long history. In 1993, the Royal Oak line expanded to include the Offshore line, which drove the bulk of sales for AP in the past few decades. Debatably, the Offshore is responsible for carrying AP into the 21st century and ushering them into the powerhouse position that they exist in today. This particular model, a Reference 26703ST Offshore Diver Chronograph, is AP's take on a 'no frills' dive watch. It features a luminous navy blue macro-tapisserie dial with applied indices, a two-register chronograph layout, a matching handset, and an excellent integrated rubber strap manages to fit perfectly on the wrist despite its 42mm size. This is a great opportunity to pick up an excellent example of an OffShore that you can truly take anywhere!
