Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs
Hound's tooth check, gingham or polka-dot fabrics; the stripes on a zebra, the spots on a dalmatian, a chequered flag, a chess board... Black and white are diagonal opposites as inextricably entwined as the day and the night. The Royal Oak Offshore collection gives pride of place to these inseparable twins that remain innately superior to colours in that they never go out of fashion and thus maintain their unassailable dominance. Audemars Piguet is offering aficionados of Royal Oak Offshore chronographs a range of timepieces that can be appreciated like a crescendo, like an irresistible acceleration of time. The steel and rubber basic models will delight purists looking for a sporting look perfectly suited to their wrist – with a 37 mm-diameter case – and free of any frills. Exit diamonds! Then come those with a gem-set bezel, designed for refined women with a strong and slightly impertinent nature. And in the ultimate version, steel gives way to white gold on a black chronograph adorned with the fiery sparkle of hundreds of diamonds.

Steel and rubber make a self-sufficient pairing
These unashamedly sporty models are the first 37 mm Royal Oak Offshore chronographs to turn their noses up at diamonds. The legendary stainless steel octagonal bezel shines with a splendid purity that actually highlights its noble bearing. Its eight polished hexagonal screws stand out clearly and echo the profile of the polished bezel. These brilliant surfaces make an admirable contrast with the satin-brushed finish on the rest of the case. The subtle nuances of the steel vie with the charm of the rubber strap and the black or white pushers. The dials also play on the theme of opposites, with white hour-markers and Arabic numerals adorning the “Méga tapisserie” motif on the black dial, while the silvered dial features black hands and markers. These two timepieces are clearly destined to become classic basics.

More flirtatious: steel, rubber and diamonds
In an irresistibly tempting combination, the imposing signature case of the Royal Oak Offshore appears with a diamond-set octagonal bezel that lights up the black and steel version radiating an assertively bold style; and matches the silvered dial of the white rubber variation that exudes a cool, fresh charm. Embodying just the right amount of chic sophistication, these interpretations preserve the sporting spirit of this collection focused on rubber and steel and are liable to become summer must-haves.

Scintillating diamonds
Rubber is transfigured and ennobled by the power of diamonds adorning its full-set 18-carat white gold case. Counting the folding clasp securing the strap, this chronograph is embellished by 323 diamonds totalling 5.9 carats. In an ultimate precious touch, the dial counters are crafted in mother-of-pearl and create a striking contrast with the black “Méga Tapisserie” motif, while the passing hours are marked off with diamonds. This chronograph is destined for exceptional women who will be sure not to miss a moment of life's most meaningful moments.
Beautiful inside and out
The entire range is equipped with a top-quality selfwinding chronograph movement that is impeccably finished. Given the reliability and accuracy of this calibre, these newcomers to the Royal Oak Offshore collection might well lay claim to be simply perfect – each in their own distinctive way!
