For the first time, Audemars Piguet introduced a bold black ceramic case and bracelet to its Royal Oak Offshore collection with the Selfwinding Chronograph Ref. 26238CE.OO.1300CE.01. A perfect fusion of innovation and design, this timepiece sets a new standard for luxury sports watches, blending cutting-edge materials with a signature aesthetic.
The standout feature of this model is its black ceramic case, a material revered for its durability and lightweight properties. Ceramic is not only highly resistant to scratches, but also provides a sleek, modern look that retains its luster over time. The glareproofed sapphire crystal and sapphire titanium caseback provide a clear view of the watch’s intricate details, both protecting the dial and showcasing the mechanism.
Adding to its cohesive design, the watch features black ceramic pushpieces and a screw-locked crown, ensuring water resistance and durability, while enhancing the seamless, all-black appearance.
The Royal Oak Offshore’s black dial is adorned with the “Petite Tapisserie” pattern—a signature design of the collection. This intricate, grid-like pattern is a hallmark of Audemars Piguet’s craftsmanship, blending technicity with sophisticated design. Complementing the texture are black counters and an external zone, providing a striking contrast.
The watch’s face is further elevated by white gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands, both of which are coated with a luminescent finish. This ensures visibility in low-light conditions, making the watch as practical as it is luxurious. A black inner bezel adds depth to the dial, enhancing its bold and refined character.
The black ceramic bracelet continues the theme of sophistication and durability, offering a sleek, comfortable fit. Equipped with a titanium AP folding clasp, it secures the watch to the wrist while maintaining its high-end aesthetic. The use of titanium adds a subtle contrast to the all-black ceramic, without taking away from the cohesive design.
The Selfwinding Chronograph is powered by Audemars Piguet’s calibre 4404, a high-performance movement that offers precise timekeeping and chronograph functionality. The 70-hour power reserve ensures that the watch remains functional even after periods of inactivity, while the column-wheel chronograph mechanism ensures smooth operation of the stopwatch feature.
