The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix is an attractive limited edition perfectly demonstrating the savoir-faire of the brand.
The Grand Prix series was launched in three limited edition versions: in titanium like the present lot, in pink gold and in platinum.
The titanium and forged carbon version perfectly embodies the spirit of the model, largely inspired by the racing cars world. The bezel has openings similar to air vents, the special rotor is reminiscent of a rim and the dial has contrasting bright colours to maximize its legibility.
The sharp angles of the forged carbon and titanium case give a very sporty and masculine look to the piece.
This model is one of the finest interpretation of the close relationship between the racing and watchmaking worlds. The present lot is part of part of the limited edition of 1750 in titanium and forged carbon and comes complete with its Audemars Piguet certificate, instructions and presentation case.
