Audemars Piguet 26176 (Pre-owned - Good) — USD 18,497 on eBay

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor reference 26176 represents the brand's incorporation of forged carbon case construction within the Offshore collection. Part of the Survivor series, this reference was produced from 2008 to 2014, distinguishing itself through its advanced materials application. The 42mm case is constructed from forged carbon and features a fixed octagonal bezel with sapphire crystal protection. The automatic caliber 3126/3840 movement provides a 50-hour power reserve. The black dial is paired with a rubber strap, and the watch offers 100-meter water resistance. This reference appeals to collectors seeking contemporary materials and construction techniques within the Royal Oak Offshore lineup. The forged carbon case material and six-year production run position the 26176 as a specific iteration for those interested in Audemars Piguet's material innovations during the late 2000s to mid-2010s period.
