Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 43 mm – Ref. 15605SK.OO.A350CA.01
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Ref. 15605SK.OO.A350CA.01 represents the next evolutionary step in Offshore design. Launched in 2024 as a sleek, time-and-date version of the legendary Offshore collection, this 43 mm timepiece pairs a stainless steel case with a distinctive blue rubber‑coated bezel and smoked blue Méga Tapisserie dial—striking a balance between bold aesthetics and refined functionality.
Case Bezel: Steel with Rubber-Coated Contrast
Encased in rugged 43 mm brushed and polished stainless steel, the watch is enhanced by a bold blue rubber-coated octagonal bezel—giving a tactile, modern twist to the Royal Oak signature shape. Complete with a screw‑locked crown and sapphire crystals front and back, it measures 14.4 mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters.
Smoked Blue Méga Tapisserie Dial
Beneath the crystal lies a smoked blue dial featuring Audemars Piguet’s updated Méga Tapisserie pattern. Rhodium‑toned gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands, filled with luminous material, ensure excellent visibility. The blue inner bezel with matching tone frames the dial beautifully, while a date window at 3 o’clock maintains visual symmetry.
Calibre 4302 Movement
This model is powered by the AP in-house Calibre 4302, an advanced automatic movement offering hours, minutes, central seconds, and date functions. Beating at 4 Hz with 32 jewels and 257 components, it delivers a robust 70-hour power reserve. The movement is beautifully finished with Geneva stripes, circular graining, polished bevels, and a blackened 22‑carat gold rotor visible through the transparent caseback.
Integrated Strap Interchangeable System
The reference comes equipped with a matching blue rubber strap that mimics the bezel tone, fitted with a stainless steel AP pin buckle. For versatility, a complementary black rubber strap is also included, both easily interchangeable via Audemars Piguet’s quick-change system—perfect for adapting from sporty to dressier occasions.
