Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore | 26298SK | 42mm | Black Dial

Where Metal Becomes Art

The Royal Oak Offshore is the Royal Oak’s audacious alter ego—its surfaces a choreography of satin brushing and mirror polish that turns light into a living texture. On the wrist, the black ceramic-and-steel architecture frames a guilloché ‘Tapisserie’ dial whose depth and precision could only be born of true artisanal craft.

A Symphony of Satin and Polish

• Reference Number: 26298SK.OO.D101CR.01
• The Hand-Finished Case and Bracelet: Stainless steel case with sharply defined, hand-polished bevels against deep vertical brushing; black ceramic octagonal bezel for added scratch resistance; stainless steel AP folding clasp, each facet finished by hand for a silken touch.
• The Engine-Turned ‘Grande Tapisserie’ Dial: Black, with crisply cut relief squares that catch the light at every angle, paired with applied hour markers and hands for sculptural legibility.
• The White Gold Bezel Screws: Eight perfectly aligned hexagonal screws—executed in white gold—anchoring the bezel with jewel-like precision.
• The Decorated Calibre: Automatic movement, finely finished with traditional haute horlogerie techniques, delivering reliable, effortless chronograph performance.
• Case Material: Stainless steel with black ceramic bezel; 42 mm presence that wears with balanced authority.

The Royal Oak’s famed ‘Tapisserie’ is not stamped—it is engraved on a traditional, manually operated guilloché machine. This painstaking, hand-guided process creates the dial’s inimitable depth, soft shimmer, and soulful cadence under moving light.

A Tactile and Visual Masterpiece

This Royal Oak Offshore is a testament to Audemars Piguet’s uncompromising savoir-faire: a study in contrasts where satin and polish, ceramic and steel, tradition and modernity meet. Its true beauty reveals itself up close—on the bevel, in the grain, and across the dial’s living geometry.
