The Most Important Piece of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

When it comes to Audemars Piguet, it is now "only" to think of the Royal Oak, or at most to think of its brother - the Royal Oak offshore. In 1993, Audemars Piguet officially launched the royal oak's brother "Royal Oak Offshore Royal Oak Offshore". At the time, Stephen Urquhart discovered that consumers had begun to dislike "small-caliber watches," but gradually turned to larger-sized watches. Can not give up the real oak tree, the Audemars Piguet designer chose to scale the Royal Oak shore. But after zooming in, the sharp edges and corners will cut hands, so the designers soften and round the corners. At the same time, the waterproof ring is exposed, and the chronograph button and the crown are added with water resistance. Ever since, the Royal Oak was born offshore. Many watchmakers joked that offshore is an enlarged version of the Royal Oak. This is true, and true history is like this.

As early as 1989, the Royal Oak was designed offshore by Emmanuel Gueit. But at that time, Audemars Piguet was anxious, fearing that the enlarged version of "Royal Oak" could not be sold, so she was put on hold for three years and was ready to be released in 1992, the 20th anniversary of the release of Royal Oak. By 1992, Audemars Piguet had retreated, and it was still afraid that it could not be sold, so it was put on hold for another year. In the end, the official listing date of the Royal Oak Offshore Series was in 1993.

At the beginning of the year, the Royal Oak was not called the name, but the name "challenger", because its size change was really a huge challenge at the time. However, since the design was derived from the Royal Oak and the Royal Oak was named after the British Navy, the new watch still had to be with the sea, called "Offshore."

The first version of the Royal Oak Offshore Royal Oak Offshore was not sold under the name "Royal Oak Offshore" but also "Royal Oak". The offshore back cover, which was sold in the first hundred, is all engraved "Royal Oak".

Like the Royal Oak, the Royal Oak was not sold off the ground. Even the designer of the Royal Oak, Gerald Genta, feels that this extra version of the Royal Oak is simply wonderful. The market reaction beaten Audemars Piguet. Because at the time, Audemars Piguet found that consumers had the impression of a large-size watch, but it was just a "spot". Until 1997, Panerai’s “fat and big” watch once again turned the “big-size watch”’s salary into a prairie fire, and Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oaks ushered in the light.

Among the many Royal Oak offshore series, the most legendary model is the original Ref.25721; in Ref.25721, the most important one is the designer Emmanuel Gueit number 39.'
