The Royal Oak Offshore Diver maximizes the main technical characteristics of instruments intended for use in underwater activities, in order to guarantee users unfailing reliability at all times. Fully compliant with the NIHS 92-11 (ISO6425) norm, this selfwinding model with its powerful design appears this year for the first time with a case, bezel and easy-grip crowns all made of deep black high-tech ceramics. Machining this avant-garde material, around seven times harder than steel and which only diamonds can scratch, calls for the use of special machines and tools equipped with diamond-tipped milling-cutters. The rotating dive-time pre-selection device, unusually positioned inside the case, is technically far more complex to make than a traditional unidirectional exterior rotating bezel. It offers the advantage of reducing the parallax error and protecting this element from shocks and aggressive external factors such as water, salt or grains of sand that might jam the bezel. To adjust this dive-time indicator, the Audemars Piguet watchmakers have developed a mechanism enabling it to be controlled via a watertight external crown positioned at 10 o’clock along the side of the case middle. This rugged, graphically designed, ergonomic and almost unalterable timepiece focuses on essentials, and The same principle applies to ladies’ models.

Quite obviously intended for sporty women as well as for those who like powerful and graphically designed watches capable of accentuating their dynamic nature, the Royal Oak Offshore Ladycat chronograph bears the colors of the high-tech catamaran sponsored by Audemars Piguet, the only boat in this sailing category competing with a woman at the helm. The new cat colours are harmoniously associated with the dials of the two versions, coming in steel and white gold limited editions. The white gold version of the superlative chronograph, with its black mother-of-pearl dial counters, is adorned with a gemset bezel, case and folding clasp totalling 323 diamonds. The black rubber strap provides a perfect foil for the sparkle of the gems, which are as ever chosen by Audemars Piguet from among the highest-quality stones. The steel variation is equally appealing with its pure lines accentuated by the brilliant-pavé bezel and the likewise gemset studs that merge smoothly into the strap. Representing a further token of the Manufacture’s determination to cultivate luxury right through to the smallest details, this intensely feminine chronograph is equipped with an 18-carat gold oscillating weight visible through the sapphire case-back.

Introduced for the very first time in an automatic version, the Selfwinding Royal Oak 37mm is an exquisite jewellery watch destined to magnify the beauty of women wishing to project a free-spirited image, while also indulging their penchant for ultimate luxury. Hand-assembled and decorated in harmony with tradition, Caliber 3120 is the beating heart of the timepiece, comprising a 22-carat gold rotor that winds it automatically on the wearer’s wrist. This watch in white gold with its powerful design is endowed with pure lines and watchmaking qualities that are bound to appeal to women looking for a time-measuring instrument suitable for wear on all occasions, as well as ladies who are connoisseurs.

James Lebron’s achievements to date, Audemars Piguet has created a brand-new very special limited edition timepiece : the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph LeBron James. Not only did James LeBron win two NBA championships in 2012-2013, he was also chosen twice as the NBA Finals MVP and helped lead the American Olympic Basketball “Dream Team” to a gold medal. This is the second time in the history of the game that a player has been an NBA Champion, MVP, and Olympic Gold Medalist. The decision to collaborate with Audemars Piguet on the creation of a limited edition of 600 pieces is a natural result of LeBron’s elegant personal style, and the combination of unabashed masculinity and bold design that’s been the hallmark of the Royal Oak Offshore since it first debuted twenty years ago. Still, the partnership with AP reveils an expression of the dual facets of LeBron James in horological form – Royal Oak Offshore fans might have thought a timepiece made in collaboration with one of the world’s most powerful athletes would be an exercise in pure testosterone, but the combination of subtle visual harmony with the bold lines of the Royal Oak Offshore is a true expression of both the physicality and sophistication of who LeBron James is. “I love the strap, we talked about a lot of possibilities and I thought grey would be the perfect color. At first you really don’t  think pink gold and grey will work together, but when you match it up with this watch and this style, it’s a perfect combination”. The 18k pink gold case lends an air of luxurious richness while at the same time underscoring the powerful geometry of the case, and is set off by the cool, almost silken sheen of the titanium bezel. A further discreet touch of luxury is the single diamond set into the chronograph pushpiece at two o’clock with both pushers, as well as the crown, made in black ceramic.
