Once overlooked, chronographs had their time before the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST.OO.A027CA.01 changed the game. Since its 1993 debut, this watch underwent a series of updates, captivating horology enthusiasts. Unveiled at the 2014 Salon International de le Haute Horlogerie, this model stood out with its Mega Tapisserie dial and a striking royal blue visage with silver and orange accents. Paired with a blue rubber strap, it exuded a modern, sporty allure. Beyond aesthetics, the 42 mm stainless steel case ensured water resistance up to 100 meters and showcased technical prowess with ceramic elements, sleek numerals, and a robust AP automatic 3126 caliber visible through the sapphire case back.
