Why We Love it

Royal Oak.

It was the design that made Gerald Genta's career and remains, without question, the most celebrated collection in Audemars Piguet's near 145-year long history.

In 1993, the Royal Oak line expanded to include the Offshore line, which drove the bulk of sales for AP in the past few decades. Debatably, the Offshore is responsible for carrying AP into the 21st century and ushering it into the powerhouse position in which it exists today.

This particular model, a Reference 15710ST Offshore Diver, is AP's take on a “no frills” dive watch. Compared to most references in the Offshore lineup, it keeps it relatively simple with the time, date, and an internal rotating dive timing bezel, which is operated by the crown at the 10:00 position. Additionally, the large stainless steel case with its excellent integrated rubber strap manages to fit perfectly on the wrist despite its 42mm size. 

Featuring bright white dash indices, Roman numerals and a matching handset filled with LumiNova that positively pops against a black macro-tappisserie dial, what we have here is a watch that takes legibility seriously. The inclusion of the Audemars Piguet manufacture Calibre 3120, with its 40 jewels and impressive 60 hours of power reserve, is merely icing on the cake.

In excellent condition throughout and accompanied by its full original kit, this is a tremendous opportunity to pick up an excellent example of an OffShore that you can truly take anywhere!

Brand Story

+
There are certain watches that define a brand, informing its design ethos and becoming nothing short of iconic in the minds of collectors. For Audemars Piguet, that watch is the Royal Oak, in all its multitudinous incarnations. Yet the manufacture from Le Brassus did not earn its seat in the triumvirate of leading watch brands — the so-called Big Three — on the success of the Royal Oak alone.

In fact, both Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet came from long lines of watchmakers, and made their reputations long before the Royal Oak was conceived. Their reputations rested on their ability to create incredibly elegant timepieces in numerous styles. While some of these timepieces were simple, elegant dress watches, others were one-off or short-series pieces produced at the rate of a handful per year. (Some years, Audemars Piguet only produced a few hundred watches in total.) Calendar watches, chronographs, minute repeaters — all the delights of haute horlogerie were part and parcel of the AP oeuvre long before the Royal Oak made its debut in 1972.

Technical innovations from AP abound and include the first minute-repeating movement, the first skeleton watch and an ultra-thin automatic tourbillon. Newer collections, such as the Code 11.59 from 2019, see the maison continue to develop new and exciting watches and calibers, the likes of which aren’t based upon tired horological tropes from models past. (Though if vintage reissues are your bag, AP does have a special “Remaster” line — currently consisting of just one model — that reimagines some of its classical, complicated pieces from the mid-20th century.)
