Audemars Piguet

Earlier today, Mark in Paris posted on Audemars Piguet's newest Offshore, the Royal Oak Offshore Diver made for the brands relationship with the Hong Kong Jockey Club for the Queen Elizabeth II Cup. It is readily apparent from the reaction of our collecto...  

I cannot remember all the " special " ROOs, but this one, yes! A Holy Beast, with a lot of character. Enjoy! Best, Nicolas

you are hurting me real bad :) That is ROO that will never be surpassed Thank you for the pain & pleasure Yours D

It had been a little too long since we remembered this Legend on the forum. Thanks for reading the article.

AP has provided so many wonderful creations for us. It says a lot that we can look back to older examples and still keep them in the same class.
