Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01 Chronograph Black Ceramic Yellow Gold Black Dial (2023)

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01 makes a commanding statement with its 43 mm black ceramic case complemented by 18K yellow gold push-piece guards, crown links, and buckle accents. The octagonal bezel, push-pieces and screw-locked crown are crafted in matte black ceramic for extreme scratch resistance, while the yellow gold elements bring warmth and contrast. With a thickness of 14.4 mm and water resistance rated to 100 m, this reference retains Offshore robustness while refining its high-luxury appeal.

The black dial features Audemars Piguet’s signature “Méga Tapisserie” pattern, providing deep texture and visual depth across its surface. Applied yellow-gold hour markers and Royal Oak hands with black-filled centers ensure clarity, while black counters and a black inner bezel maintain the tonal discipline. The layout incorporates hours, minutes, small seconds, date, and flyback chronograph functionality—all engineered for legibility and technical integrity. 

Powering this timepiece is the in-house Calibre 4401 automatic movement, beating at 4 Hz with approximately 70 hours of power reserve. It incorporates a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, flyback function, vertical clutch, and a newly designed oscillating weight visible through the sapphire case-back. The integrated black rubber strap is paired with an additional leather strap, offering versatility and wearability. As a blend of cutting-edge materials, in-house movement, and bold design, the 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01 stands out for collectors seeking sport-luxury drama with substance.
