This is definitely not your average AP Royal Oak; it is not even just a watch. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix in Platinum is a statement; a testament to Audemars Piguet’s heritage, a reflection of AP’s confidence in its leadership position in the industry, and a glimpse at the future, all in one spectacular wristwatch.

The excitement of the Grand Prix racetrack is echoed in the design of this watch, once again bringing to the forefront, Audemars Piguet’s close tie with Formula 1 racing.

The final interpretation has a case in Platinum, a noble material that makes a striking contrast with the forged carbon and black ceramic bezel, as well as with the left side of the case middle and its forged carbon element designed like a ventilation duct. It also contrasts with the carbon push-piece guards, which further exemplify the meticulous detailing on this model. Instead of being straightforward rectangles, the latter feature clean-cut high-tech edges and are applied to the case by four visible screws as well as hollowed on the side so as to house the push-pieces which are themselves composed of two parts: a black polished ceramic base and a Platinum contact surface.
