The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a modern day icon, a timepiece disruptor that changed watchmaking forever in 1972. The octagonal bezel, the “tapisserie” textured dial, and integrated bracelet define the world's first luxury sports watch universally recognized as a design masterpiece. In 1993, the introduction of the Royal Oak Offshore brought about additional change, introducing a compelling new twist to the iconic Royal Oak. The Offshore pushed the boundaries of watchmaking even further, offering new materials, new sizes, and sportier functionality.
