The Royal Oak Offshore collection expands with a new “Lady Tapisserie” design and two two-tone 18-carat white gold models set with baguette-cut diamonds for an elegant and sporty look. The first model presents itself in a stainless steel case in 37mm size, finished with an alternation of satin-brushing and polished chamfers. The bezel is decorated with baguette-cut diamonds, which seamlessly fit its slight ergonomic curvature.
The watch is enhanced with a black dial with a new “Lady Tapisserie” pattern and a circular-grained external zone. The black dial is contrasted with white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating. All in tune with the stainless steel case that was completed with the black rubber strap with stainless steel AP folding clasp.

Inside the stainless steel case, there’s Calibre 2385, a selfwinding movement with a chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds, and date function. Beating at 3 Hz (21,600 vph), this in-house movement has 40 hours of power reserve.
The second model was entirely finished with brilliant-cut diamonds. The stones illuminating the 18-carat white gold bezel and case provide an interesting play of light with the large polished bevels adorning both the bezel and case. The alternation of gemsetting and polished chamfers can also be admired on the curved push-piece guards.
The dial too is paved with brilliant-cut diamonds and complemented with assertive 18-carat white gold hour-markers and hands filled with luminescent coating for optimum visibility in the dark. The Royal Oak Offshore’s double glare proof sapphire crystal, which is curved from 6 to 12 o’clock to integrate the ergonomic curvature of the bezel, accentuates the dial’s unique play of light.
The diamonds’ glittering effect is contrasted with black ceramic push-pieces and a black ceramic crown, the color of which is echoed by the watch’s counters and inner bezel. This model comes with a black rubber strap with an 18-carat white gold AP folding clasp set with brillant-cut diamonds. Interchangeable strap system and an additional black alligator strap.
Directly integrated into the case’s studs, the interchangeability system allows the wearer to change the bracelet with a quick click and release, while the double-push system grants optimum security when the watch is on the wrist.
This model, powered by a selfwinding chronograph movement endowed with 70 hours of power reserve, features a high-end column wheel and a flyback function that enables it to instantaneously restart the chronograph without stopping or resetting it first. Calibre 4401 is also equipped with a vertical clutch system that prevents hands from jumping when the chronograph is started or stopped, as well as a patented zero resetting mechanism that ensures that each one of the counter hands seamlessly resets to zero.
The sapphire caseback reveals the collection’s dedicated blackened 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight as well as components usually hidden from view, such as the so-called dance of the chronograph hammers. Calibre 4401 is finished with refined decorations on the caseback side, such as “Côte de Genève,” “traits tirés,” polished chamfers, and circular graining.
