Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph “Vampire”

Audemars Piguet has always created iconic timepieces. First introducing the 42mm Royal Oak Offshore in 1993, which became the single most dominant high luxury sports watch on the planet. In 2015 a new model entered the collection, the  Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph with a black dial and red accents. This watch featured an upgrade from the rubber chronograph pushers and rubber winding crown to ceramic pushers and ceramic winding crown. Since then, this watch has been called “Vampire” because of the dial design. The reference for this model is 26470ST.OO. A101CR.01 and came with a 42mm Stainless steel case, black leather “hornback” alligator strap and stainless-steel pin buckle.
