AUDEMARS PIGUET, SWITZERLAND, REF. 26568IM.OO.A004CA.01, ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE, MICHAEL SCHUMACHER, LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 PIECES, TITANIUM A fine, large, light, titanium, self winding chronograph wristwatch with date Brand: Audemars Piguet, switzerland Model: Royal Oak Offshore Reference: 26568IM.OO.A004CA.01 Year: circa 2012 Caliber: 3126/ 3840, 59 jewels Bracelet: rubber with an Audemars Piguet titanium buckle Diameter: 44 Signature: dial, case and movement Grading System: AA (Very good) Case: 2-8 (Very good , Slightly scratched) Dial: 1-01 (As new , HANDS Original) Movement: 1* (As new , Overhaul recommended, at buyer's expense) EUR: 15,900 - 23,800 HKD: 142,000 - 212,000 CHF: 15,000 - 22,400 JPY: 2,840,000 - 4,260,000 Created in collaboration with Michael Schumacher and unveiled in 2012, this Royal Oak Offshore translates the visual language of motor racing into one of Audemars Piguet’s most muscular chronographs. The titanium version was produced as a limited edition of 1,000 pieces and combines the Offshore’s imposing 44 mm architecture with the lightness of titanium. Its dial carries numerous details conceived as references to Schumacher’s racing career. The minute track evokes the graphics of a racing instrument, while the seven stars positioned between 12 and 1 o’clock commemorate his seven Formula One World Championship titles, two in blue for Benetton and five in red for Ferrari. Red chronograph hands punctuate the anthracite-toned dial, while the oversized date at 3 o’clock adds another strong visual element. The titanium case provides a striking contrast between its sharply defined geometry and comparatively low weight. Inside, the self-winding calibre 3126/3840 drives the chronograph and date functions, combining Audemars Piguet mechanics with the assertive character for which the Royal Oak Offshore became known. Produced during Schumacher’s lifetime and with his direct involvement, the reference 26568IM occupies a distinctive position among Audemars Piguet’s sporting limited editions, bringing together the worlds of contemporary haute horlogerie and Formula One in a watch whose details are deeply connected to the driver it celebrates.
