Overall Review

After the enormous achievement of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet produced the Offshore in 1993, with the goal of providing a contemporary version of the original. The Offshore rapidly became one of the must-own timepieces in the luxury sporting watch industry, having taken the masculine layout, high-end functionality, and efficiency. All these made the Royal Oak so popular and incorporated a few cutting-edge elements like a bigger case, an anti-magnetic cover, and a self-winding Chrono.

In 2011, Audemars Piguet debuted the 44 mm Royal Oak Offshore line, which included a fresh design as well as a 44 mm casing diameter. Because Platinum is solid metal, with a mass of 21.45 grams per cubic centimeter, the Platinum 44 mm Royal Oak Offshore is a substantial timepiece that is not suitable for everybody. However, this distinguished watch is excellent for any man who wants to stand out. It adds a classy touch to your ensemble and fits equally well at formal and informal gatherings.

The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph has a dark blue dial and silver-toned Chrono markers. It also features a silver-toned outer minute track, a dark blue flange, as well as red Chrono hands. With a black ceramic bezel, black ceramic pushers, and a screw-down crown, the durable and ultra-heavy 950 platinum casing on this Offshore has the bulkier styling of the 44 mm Royal Oak Offshores. 

Featuring a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of 14.4 mm, the casing boasts 100 meters or 330 feet of water-resistant. The chronograph, as well as date features, are also included in this very unique Platinum 44mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. Hours, minutes, tiny seconds, and tachymeter are among other functions.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44mm Platinum is fitted with a dark blue big square scale alligator band. It matches the dial’s dark blue color palette and is held with a platinum pin buckle. Due to its platinum precious metal composition, this timepiece may easily be worn in casual and more formal settings.

This timepiece, just like all the other 44mm Royal Oak Offshores, has a display case cover that shows off the Audemars Piguet automatic caliber 3126/3840. It beats at 21,600 vph and has 365 components and 59 jewels, including a power reserve of 55 hours while wholly wound. The case back is similarly composed of Platinum, whereas the sapphire crystal is anti-reflective polished.

Overall, the Royal Oak Offshore is a wristwatch from Audemars Piguet. Because of the solid structure of its 950 platinum casing, it is substantially heavier (261 grams) than all other 44 mm Royal Oak Offshore pieces. Therefore, this gorgeous timepiece is not for individuals who cannot wear watches that are too hefty on their wrists.
