Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 37 mm
With options in 18-carat pink gold, yellow gold, or stainless steel, these Selfwinding Chronograph models feature bezels adorned with diamonds, a revamped AP monogram and gemstones selected to meet the highest criteria for clarity, cut, and colour. Share
In honour of the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore, Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet is thrilled to present four new 37 mm Selfwinding Chronograph models. These pieces, featuring diamond and coloured gemstone adorned bezels, pair sportiness with glamour. Crafted in choices of 18-carat pink gold, yellow gold, or stainless steel, they incorporate new aesthetic nuances in alignment with the 2021 collection’s design overhaul, specifically seen in the 43 mm models.
Continuing from the recent 43 mm Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph introduced in 2021, it is the turn of the 37 mm edition to undergo its own design metamorphosis. Four fresh models join the lineup, bringing a set of modern aesthetic enhancements to the dial, including a new Lady Tapisserie motif. The newer models discard the snailed zone prevalent in the earlier 37 mm dials, thus elevating the watch’s elegance. The AP monogram has been tastefully reworked to harmonise with the watch’s proportions, replacing the printed “Audemars Piguet” name. More pronounced hour-markers lend a sportier appeal.
The timepieces’ highlights include the gem-set bezels. Two models showcase brilliant-cut diamond bezels, while the remaining two are decked with vividly coloured baguette-cut gemstones. The dial colours have been enriched with novel hues – light blue, royal blue, black and a delicate salmon tone.
Each timepiece is equipped with Audemars Piguet’s interchangeable strap system, allowing owners to explore various styles. The diamond-set models come with a pin buckle, while the baguette-set versions sport an elegant AP folding clasp. Lastly, these four pieces are powered by Audemars Piguet’s selfwinding chronograph, Calibre 2385, which also displays hours, minutes, small seconds and the date.
Two watches feature a bezel adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, available in 18-carat pink gold or stainless steel cases. The brilliance of the diamonds accentuates the hand finishing adorning the multifaceted cases. The signature alternation of satin-brushing and polished chamfers imparts an enchanting interplay with light.
The pink gold version showcases a light blue dial and comes with a beige interchangeable rubber strap and an extra light blue strap to match the dial colour. The stainless steel model, with a diamond-set bezel, is embellished with a warm salmon dial and features a light grey interchangeable rubber strap. An additional dark grey rubber strap complements the watch for contrast.
The new dial colours are achieved using a PVD process, enhancing the softness of each tone. An assortment of baguette-cut coloured gemstones, placed using a channel setting, elegantly frames the final two models in 18-carat pink or yellow gold. The yellow gold timepiece comes with a royal blue dial and a bezel set with a vivid gradient of yellow, green, and blue hues. The watch is paired with a blue rubber strap and an extra bright green strap to accentuate the tsavorites’ green tones.
The pink gold version, set against a black Lady Tapisserie dial, boasts a rainbow-coloured bezel. The bezel consists of 32 baguette-cut stones including rubies, tsavorites, topaz, tanzanites, amethysts and sapphires, which create a kaleidoscope of colours and play beautifully with light. A black rubber strap and an additional beige strap complete the watch’s refined aesthetics.
The gemstones embellishing these Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronographs adhere to Audemars Piguet’s stringent quality criteria in terms of clarity, cut and colour. The cut quality of the stones, as significant as their intrinsic quality and clarity, ensures infinite radiance and sparkle.
