AUDEMARS PIGUET, ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE GRAND PRIX, A LIMITED EDITION FORGED CARBON AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH

Launched in 2010, the Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix embodies the creativity and savoir-faire developed by Audemars Piguet throughout the years. By experimenting with carbon in the 1980s and learning from the aeronautical industry, the Swiss manufacture developed a keen sense of the material’s potential and the possibilities of adapting it to watch making.

The Royal Oak Offshore welcomed the use of forged carbon, making it both extremely robust and light. Throughout the use of such a material, Audemars Piguet has been able to create timepieces, such as the Millenary Carbon One, the Juan Pablo Montoya or Rubens Barrichello limited editions.
