Audemars Piguet is commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore by introducing four rather sparkling 37 mm Selfwinding Chronograph models. These timepieces feature diamond and colored gemstone-adorned bezels, adding a touch of sportiness and glamour to the collection. Crafted in 18-karat pink gold, yellow gold, or stainless steel, these references showcase new aesthetic details that align with the design evolution presented in 2021 for the 43 mm models.

The 37 mm version of the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph receives its own design evolution with the introduction of four new models. These timepieces boast contemporary aesthetic details, including a new Lady Tapisserie motif with slightly wider truncated pyramids. The removal of the snailed zone on the dials enhances the timepieces’ refinement, while the redesigned AP monogram replaces the “Audemars Piguet” signature. The hour-markers have also been enhanced for a sportier look.

Powering these four watches is Caliber 2385, which also displays the hours, minutes, small seconds, and date. At first glance, the gemset and diamond-set bezels — which have been meticulously selected for their clarity, cut, and color — are undoubtedly the watches’ focal point, yet complementing the halo of jewels are the new dial colors, including light blue, royal blue, black, and the iconic salmon color. The two diamond-bezel timepieces are available in 18-karat pink gold or stainless steel cases. The pink gold version features a light blue dial and a beige interchangeable rubber strap, while the stainless steel model pairs a warm salmon dial with a light grey interchangeable rubber strap.

The final two models, crafted in 18-karat pink or yellow gold, are adorned with an array of baguette-cut colored gemstones fixed using a channel setting. The yellow gold timepiece boasts a royal blue dial and a bezel set with tsavorites, yellow and blue sapphires. The pink gold model stands out with a rainbow-colored bezel adorned with rubies, tsavorites, topaz, tanzanites, amethysts, and sapphires, creating a captivating color spectrum.
