The Royal Oak Offshore reference 26470OR is an impressive, substantial timepiece measuring at a contemporary 42mm. With a complete construction from 18k pink gold, the timepiece has an impressive heftiness and weight on the wrist. To balance this, Audemars Piguet has fitted the timepiece on a strap.
Reference 26470OR features a chronograph with date complication, further adding to the sporty, rugged aesthetic of the wristwatch. Ingeniously, the brand has integrated ceramic fittings into the crown, pushers, and bezel for ultimate robustness and durability. Without ceramic in these areas, these otherwise gold parts would naturally wear down and change form over time, affecting the operability of the crown and pushers. The black ceramic also adds a lovely contrast against the pink gold, adding to the wearability of this stately wristwatch.
