Specialist note

Consigned by a private collector the present “Juan Pablo Montoya” chronograph is preserved in excellent overall condition.

Encapsulating the most cutting-edge research undertaken in the sphere of Formula 1 motor racing, Audemars Piguet teamed up with F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya in producing a unique timepiece, the Royal Oak Offshore Juan Pablo Montoya. Numerous details of the watch reflect the aesthetics and technical features of racing cars. The octagonal bezel and case sides are set with carbon fibre inserts, the screws on the removable bezel are not hexagonal, but instead shaped like cylinder head screws, the screw-in titanium crown is in the shape of a wheel nut, the chronograph pushers look like cooling flaps, and the rotor of the movement like a clutch disc. The “tapisserie” silver dial, is reminiscent of the checkered race car flag - the sign of victory for the first driver to cross the finishing line.
