Offered here is one of the most iconic and historically significant modern sport chronographs — the 2023 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “The Beast,” Ref. 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01. Originally introduced in 1993 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, the Offshore was a bold and controversial release. Nicknamed “The Beast” for its oversized 42mm case and daring design, it challenged the norms of luxury watchmaking and laid the foundation for the modern luxury sports watch segment. This 2023 re-edition pays tribute to the original with a near 1:1 aesthetic — while incorporating critical upgrades like the in-house flyback chronograph, open caseback, and quick-release bracelet system. It’s a brilliant fusion of heritage and modern horology.
