Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 27237ST

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

First released in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore was designed to expand upon Audemars Piguet's ever-iconic Royal Oak collection as a sports-focused timepiece. Designed so that it could take some serious wear and tear while continuing to perform at the highest standards possible, the Royal Oak Offshore epitomized a luxury sports watch by all accounts. Featuring AP's artisanal craftsmanship, avant-garde design, and an impeccable taste for the horological, the Royal Oak Offshore was a true maverick amongst both; AP’s offerings and the entire industry. Released in 2018 for the Offshore's 25th anniversary, this Offshore ref. 27237ST remains faithful to the original release with its robust stainless steel case and iconic integrated bracelet, navy blue "Petite Tapisserie” dial, rubberized pushers, and automatic chronograph movement, all of which were crucial to the original Royal Oak Offshore's success.

Our Perspective
