Audemars Piguet 26238CE.OO.1300CE.02 Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph Ceramic Black Dial Watch

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph – Ref. Case Shape: Octagonal. 26238CE.OO.1300CE.02

Audemars Piguet elevates modern sports watchmaking with the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Ref. 26238CE.OO.1300CE.02. This 2025 release presents an all-black, stealthy aesthetic crafted entirely in black ceramic, featuring a full ceramic case, bezel, pushpieces, and integrated bracelet for unparalleled durability and cohesion.

Full Black Ceramic Mastery

The 42 mm octagonal case, bezel, pushpieces, and integrated bracelet are all fashioned from black ceramic—combining scratch resistance with a dramatic, seamless silhouette. Contrasting touches, such as titanium crown chips and caseback frames, as well as stainless-steel hexagonal screws, maintain the structural integrity and signature Offshore styling. The watch holds a water resistance of 100 meters.

Bold Méga Tapisserie Dial

Under the sapphire crystal, a matching black “Méga Tapisserie” dial anchors the monochromatic theme. Tone-on-tone chronograph counters, a matching inner bezel, and blackened white gold hands and applied hour markers—complete with luminescent fill—ensure readability while reinforcing the watch’s modern, stealth design. A discreet date window sits at 3 o’clock.

Integrated Flyback Chronograph Caliber 4404

Audemars Piguet’s in‑house Caliber 4404 powers the watch—a fully integrated automatic flyback chronograph with column wheel and vertical clutch. Operating at 4 Hz and supporting a solid 70‑hour power reserve, the movement shows its intricate craftsmanship through the sapphire caseback, including a black-coated 22‑carat pink gold rotor and refined finishing.

Integrated Bracelet & Clasp

The integrated black ceramic bracelet completes the silhouette, seamlessly continuing the case’s architecture. It secures via a titanium AP folding clasp, offering lightweight comfort and strength. The result is a unified visual and tactile experience.
