Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01.A

7789 Royal Oak Offshore 26020ST.OO.D001IN.01.A c. 2014 A very good example of the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph.\n\nThe Royal Oak Offshore by Audemars Piguet came 21 years after the release of the original "Jumbo" in 1972. Just like the original, the Offshore was roundly criticised upon its release for being too large, too heavy, and too unusual. Even the original Royal Oak's designer, Gerald Genta, was unhappy with being associated with the new design.\n\nHowever, the bold design came at just the right time for the new generation of potential clients, who at the time were craving something less traditional. Younger customers flocked towards the Offshore, which reflected a trend of larger and more aggressive designs in watchmaking. Today, while that trend towards bigger watches has somewhat subsided, the Offshore remains one of Audemars Piguet's most popular and well-recognised models.
