Code: 600231Product detailed description
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42mm — Ref. 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01
The new evolution of the original Royal Oak Offshore from 1993. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Ref. 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 marks a decisive new chapter in the history of one of horology's most iconic sports watches. Integrating the Manufacture's most advanced flyback chronograph movement, a redesigned interchangeable strap system, a refined blue "Petite Tapisserie" dial, and a sapphire caseback — this is the most technically complete Offshore to date.
Why choose this model?
Evolved 42 mm architecture
The revised 42 mm stainless steel case refines the Offshore's iconic proportions, maintaining its bold presence while improving wearability. The octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws remains instantly recognisable, now paired with a glareproofed sapphire caseback that reveals the movement in full.
Blue "Petite Tapisserie" dial
The deep blue dial features Audemars Piguet's refined "Petite Tapisserie" texture alongside blue sub-dials, white gold applied hour-markers with luminescent coating, and Royal Oak hands — a cohesive composition that shifts beautifully under changing light.
Calibre 4404 — latest generation flyback chronograph
At the heart of this reference beats the new in-house Calibre 4404: a selfwinding flyback chronograph with hours, minutes, small seconds, and date. With 433 parts, 40 jewels, a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph), and a 70-hour power reserve, it represents a significant advancement over its predecessor in both technical execution and finishing quality.
Interchangeable strap system
The watch ships with a stainless steel bracelet with AP folding clasp and an additional blue rubber strap, both compatible with the new quick-change interchangeable strap system — allowing seamless transitions between formal and sporting contexts without tools.
Collector's appeal and positioning
The 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 is the definitive modern expression of the Royal Oak Offshore in stainless steel. The introduction of Calibre 4404 with its extended 70-hour power reserve and enhanced flyback mechanism, combined with the sapphire caseback and interchangeable strap architecture, establishes a new standard for the Offshore line.
The blue dial variant on steel bracelet remains the most iconic Offshore configuration — directly referencing the original 1993 design while representing the very latest in Manufacture watchmaking.
The Offshore legacy
Bold, purposeful, and instantly recognizable, the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 honours the pioneering spirit of 1993 while standing as the most refined and technically advanced Offshore ever produced.
