To celebrate the first F1 Grand Prix in the island-state of Singapore, Audemars Piguet has created this limited edition Offshore chonograph.
Forged carbon was a deliberate choice for the case middle of the Royal Oak Offshore Singapore Grand Prix Chronograph, inspired by the aerofoils, vents and other appendages of Formula 1 cars, this sophisticated material stems from a lengthy and meticulous development process. It is composed of carbon fibers compressed at high temperature. The molecular structure thus obtained ensures a winning blend of lightness, resistance and hardness. Machining an extremely dense carbon also creates a distinctive appearance admirably highlighted by the steel bezel and its studs, while eight black PVD-coated steel screws underscore the legendary octagonal shape.
The case measures 42mm x 15mm and has a sapphire crystal. It is water resistant to 100 meters. The caseback is engraved with the inscription Royal Oak Offshore – Limited Edition – Singapore GP 2008.
Movement is the automatic AP caliber 3126/3840 with 59 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph and with a power reserve of 60 hours. All parts are decorated by hand; mainplate rhodium-plated, bevelled and circular-grained, bridges adorned with “Cotes de Geneve” motif.
