Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 43 mm Chronograph – Ref. 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Ref. 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01 is a striking 43 mm chronograph that combines the durability of black ceramic with the opulence of 18-carat yellow gold. Designed for modern collectors who appreciate both cutting-edge materials and timeless aesthetics, this timepiece delivers performance, visual contrast, and impeccable craftsmanship.

Black Ceramic and Yellow Gold Case

This 43 mm case is constructed entirely from black ceramic, including the bezel, screw-locked crown, and chronograph push-pieces. Yellow gold accents on the push-piece guards and crown offer a refined contrast, reinforcing the watch’s luxurious character. The octagonal bezel, a signature of the Royal Oak lineage, is secured with hexagonal screws and paired with a sapphire crystal. With a thickness of 14.4 mm and water resistance to 100 meters, the case is as functional as it is bold.

Black Méga Tapisserie Dial

The dial showcases Audemars Piguet’s signature Méga Tapisserie pattern in deep black, creating a textured backdrop for the chronograph’s functionality. Three black subdials are framed by yellow gold-toned rings, while yellow gold hands and hour markers are treated with luminescent coating for excellent legibility. A date window is placed discreetly between 4 and 5 o’clock, and a tachymeter scale runs along the inner bezel.

In-House Caliber 4401 Movement

Inside, the 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01 is powered by the Audemars Piguet Caliber 4401, an automatic, integrated chronograph movement featuring a flyback function, column wheel, and vertical clutch. Beating at 4 Hz and offering a 70-hour power reserve, this movement is admired for its precision and functionality. Through the transparent caseback, collectors can admire the black NAC-coated 22-carat pink gold rotor and fine finishing, including hand-beveled bridges and polished screws.

Interchangeable Strap System

The timepiece comes fitted with a black alligator leather strap that complements the black-and-gold color scheme, secured with an 18-carat yellow gold pin buckle. An additional black rubber strap is included, allowing for easy swapping thanks to Audemars Piguet’s user-friendly interchangeable strap system.
