Catalogue Note

Audemars Piguet launched the Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Chronograph in 2007, celebrating the anniversary of the victory of the Swiss yachting team, Alinghi. Forged carbon was the chosen innovative material for this exceptional timepiece. Carbon is commonly used in the aeronautics industry for its resistance and lightness.  The present lot is elevated with a substantial platinum case and numbered 22 of 107 total limited edition pieces.
