Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Carbon

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 15466BC Offshore Diver, is AP's take on a 'no frills' dive watch — though it does make use of a forged-Carbon case. Compared to most References in the Offshore lineup, this watch keeps it relatively simple with the time, date, and an internal rotating dive timing bezel which is operated by the crown at the 10:00 position. It also features a black ceramic bezel, luminous black macro-tapisserie dial with a matching handset, and an integrated black rubber strap with a signed titanium pin buckle. This is a great opportunity to pick up an excellent example of an OffShore that you can truly take anywhere!
