Launched in 2012, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher ref. 26568OM is a tribute to the legendary Formula 1 driver's partnership with the revered Swiss watchmaker. Limited to just 500 pieces, this timepiece, designed in collaboration with Schumacher, masterfully combines motorsports spirit and haute horology. Featuring a 44mm 18k rose gold case houses an automatic cal. 3126/3840 chronograph movement with a 55-hour power reserve. Boasting Schumacher's signature on the case back to highlight the special bond between the driver and Audemars Piguet, this timepiece is imbued with Michael’s touch. Boasting an anthracite dial that features AP’s signature "Mega Tapisserie" pattern, accented by rose gold hour markers and the Royal Oak’s signature hands and red chronograph hands to resemble Formula 1 racing cars, the ref. 26568OR is stylishly designed to be as playful as it is impressive. Featuring a glare-proofed sapphire crystal and a black ceramic bezel to match its grey dial, this beauty has a truly sporty aesthetic that is further compounded by the minute track it features that echoes a checkered flag – like what is used in F1. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, the Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher ref. 26568OM is a fitting tribute that embodies the passion, dedication, and attention to detail of both Schumacher and Audemars Piguet, making it a prized possession for fans and collectors.
