Latest Release from Audemars Piguet – Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher Limited Edition in 18kt Rose Gold

Limited & Numbered to an Exclusive 500 Pieces

Audemars Piguet fans have been waiting for this one, and here it is – the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher Limited Edition. It has been just shy of two years since Audemars Piguet signed F1 legend Michael Schumacher, and as noted at the time, “Limited Edition(s) will surely follow.” And follow they do, with three new limited edition models for the King of Formula 1 racing – titanium case (1000 pieces, Ref 26568IM.OO.A004CA.01) , rose gold (500 pieces, Ref 26568OM.OO.A004CA.01, and platinum (100 pieces, Ref. 26568PM.OO.A021CA.01), all 44mm, all with AP Cermet bezel, all with AP automatic mechanical caliber 3126/3840.

Like Leo Messi and others before him, Schumacher took a personal role in the creation of the watch bears his name, working closely with AP lead artistic designer Octavio Garcia. The racing inspiration in this watch is apparent in certain respects, but in others it is quite subtle.

Notable design features that I would point out include two blue stars and five red stars (on the outer tachy scale) symbolizing the seven titles of world champion driver – two in blue for Benetton (1994 and 1995) and five for Ferrari (between 2000 and 200). Note also the minute track (outer) with a cool “checkered flag” pattern. And lastly the hour and minute hands, made of faceted gold – a new design from AP – are meant to emulate the monocoque construction of an F1 Car.

The Latest Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph – Limited edition of 500 pieces released in a tribute to German F1 racing driver Michael Schumacher.

Michael Schumacher is the Mercedes Formula One driver for Germany – Schumacher, seven times a world champion became the brand ambassador for Audemars Piguet in 2010.

Now almost two years after Schumacher and Audemars Piguet announced their relationship, there will be the first limited edition watch collection to celebrate Michael’s accomplishments.

The legendary race car driver has announced that he will retire after the end of the 2012 F1 season so these three new watches come as a fitting tribute to this great sportsman.
