DESCRIPTION

  • THE MANUFACTURE AUDEMARS PIGUET,  FOUNDED IN 1875 IN LE BRASSUS – A VILLAGE  THE MANUFACTURE AUDEMARS PIGUET,  NESTLED AT THE HEART OF THE VALLÉE DE THE AMBITION TO CREATE EXCEPTIONAL  JOUX – HAS CONSISTENTLY CULTIVATED  WATCHES. THE FIRST GRANDE COMPLICATION  MODELS WERE PRODUCED IN 1882 BY THIS  FIRM THAT IS STILL IN THE HANDS OF THE  FOUNDING FAMILIES. 

    As the ultimate sports watch, the Royal Oak Offshore consolidates  and confirms its iconic nature by hosting for the very first time  a Grande Complication movement. This exceptional Calibre 2885  (equipped with a minute repeater on two gongs, perpetual calendar  and split-second chronograph) is a concentrated blend of the most  amazing mechanical developments ever produced by watchmakers.
    This time-measuring instrument with its intensely modern lines is not  the only exceptional model presented at the Salon International de  la Haute Horlogerie by the Manufacture Audemars Piguet, which has  produced a large number of rare and prestigious complex horological  mechanisms since its creation. To honour the history of the company,  Audemars Piguet’s watchmakers have also chosen to unveil a more  classic watch in the Tradition collection, combining chronograph, tourbillon and minute repeater functions.
    Above and beyond the renewed expression of this recognised  expertise in the field of horological complications, the Manufacture  from Le Brassus is innovating in 2013 within the Royal Oak Offshore  collection by introducing two new models featuring an all-ceramic case middle and bezel : the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, and  the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. These instruments clearly cut out for  action have been designed to stand up to external factors and to afford their weather the rare experience of defying time itself.

    THE FIRST SERIES-PRODUCED CHRONOGRAPH  IN THE OFFSHORE COLLECTION TO FEATURE AN ALL CERAMIC CASE-MIDDLE AND BEZEL, THIS EXTREMELY SPORTY 44 MM-DIAMETER MODEL ACCENTUATES ITS EFFECTIVE AND VIRILE DESIGN THROUGH THE INTENSITY OF ITS BLACK COLOURING.

    The choice of ceramics for this chronograph is above all due to its  exceptional toughness and durability. This material is far harder than steel and resists scratching by anything but diamond. The technical corollary of this performance is that each ceramic element requires a far longer machining time. It takes almost 12 hours to make the case middle of the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph, while the bezel also calls for over eight hours more work than the same part in steel.
    This highly sophisticated finishing work on ceramics equals the quality of the finishes performed on the steel parts. It confirms the expertise developed by the Manufacture Audemars Piguet in the field of innovative materials such as Cermet, tantalum and ceramics that are featured in its high-performance sports models. Driven by a concern for detail and in order to minimise any risk of scratching, the Audemars Piguet engineers pursued their quest for excellence right down to the smallest details by also choosing ceramics for the pushpieces and crown of this model. Only the case-back with its sapphire crystal and the strap-fastening studs were produced in titanium while the bezel screws are made of steel. 

    For this model exuding an aura of rigorous strength, the Manufacture in Le Brassus has chosen a black dial bearing the “Méga Tapisserie” pattern typical of Royal Oak Offshore models, with the small seconds subdial appearing at 12 o’clock and the chronograph counters at  6 and 9 o’clock. The latter are easily identifiable by their red hands – a shade echoed on the tip of the central chronograph seconds hand.
    This sophisticated chronograph with its incisive design features a wealth of opulent detailing. The manually applied hands and  hour-markers are made of white gold with a luminescent coating ensuring optimal readability in the dark. The date window at 3 o’clock complements the functions of this instrument powered by  Manufacture Audemars Piguet Calibre 3126/3840, endowed with a 55-hour power reserve. Some of the 365 parts of this selfwinding movement, equipped with an openworked 22-carat gold oscillating weight featuring an anthracite galvanic coating and engraved in the centre with the AP initials, may be admired through the sapphire case-back.
    This masculine chronograph with its resolutely virile design is teamed with a black rubber strap fastened by a titanium pin buckle.
    Boldly representative of modern times, this instrument is water-resistant to 100 metres and virtually unalterable thanks to the choice of a high-density technical ceramic material. It reveals the Manufacture Audemars Piguet’s forward-looking approach by enriching the collection with this sporting timepiece radiating  unequivocal luxury and a contemporary spirit that is at ease in any situation and equipped to handle all kinds of conditions.
