Royal Oak Offshore Summer Collection
AP has yet again surprised everyone with a new collection of timepieces. With these, they are not necessarily following a theme but instead, they have added something for everyone in the Offshore collection. There is a new Ladies Offshore that looks much more elegant than all the other lady Offshore models. Apart from that, there is a Chronograph model that looks bold and stands out with the special dial color and strap combination. Last but not the least, for those who like to keep things classic, there is a new simple but aesthetically bold timepiece that keeps things minimalistic while also managing to stand out.
In short, the whole new collection is something that Audemars Piguet lovers, especially Offshore fans are going to absolutely love. Here’s everything you need to know about the three new models.
Offshore For Ladies – 77605OK
The all-new AP 77605OK is one of the nicest-looking AP watches out there for the ladies. Crafted in 18ct Rose Gold, this timepiece features a 37mm case, which is a perfect size for most women out there. It also gets a beige rubber-covered bezel that gives a nice contrast to the ivory hue dial with the Grande Tapisserie pattern on it. With a thickness of just 12.1mm and a water resistance rating of up to 50 meters, this watch is certainly impressive on paper.
But what sets it apart is the strap. It gets a mosaic effect texture on the beige rubber strap. This goes really well with the color of the dial and the bezel and to keep things premium, you also get the pink gold AP buckle. In the box, the buyer will also get a plain black rubber strap, which they can use when they would like to keep things rather subtle.
Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26420ST
With a 43mm Stainless Steel case, this Chronograph model gets a Smoked Bronze dial with Black Subdials on it. Paired with the brown alligator leather strap, this timepiece definitely stands out. However, it is not something that I would put on my wrist. While the brown and black contrast might work for some, it is just something I would stay away from. After all, opinions on the designs are subjective.

The case is ready for your dive sessions thanks to the 100m water resistance rating. The watch is powered by AP’s in-house Calibre 4401 that offers a flyback chronograph and delivers a power reserve of up to 70 hours.
AP 15605SK
One of my favorite pieces out of the new collection has to be the Royal Oak Offshore 15605SK. With a retail price of around AED 100,000, the watch offers a 43mm stainless steel case and a blue rubber-coated bezel. Keeping up with the theme, the watch features a blue-smoked dial that has this black effect on the outer while staying blue on the inner circle. AP’s smoked dials are definitely some of the best and this blue smoked one is even more special. Furthermore, the watch gets a blue rubber strap, which is easily interchangeable with a black rubber strap that comes included in the box.
Thanks to AP’s easy strap interchangeable system, you can not only swap the two straps that come with the timepiece but also get more options from your nearest AP boutique.
