Overview
Produced as a limited series in tribute to motor racing, the Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix pairs 18k rose gold with forged carbon — a bold material mix that defined the Offshore's most collectible era.
The octagonal bezel and exposed screws of Gérald Genta's original Royal Oak design are here scaled to a 44mm sporting case, with a chronograph dial in dark tones and racing-red accents, and a sapphire caseback revealing the selfwinding movement.
This example is pre-owned and described by the seller as in perfect condition. It is offered without box and without papers; we inspect it in Johannesburg and document its condition before dispatch.

Authenticity & care
Every piece is examined in Johannesburg before final delivery: reference, serial and movement checked against the description, condition photographed, and documents compared with the watch.
Original manufacturer packaging is preserved and travels inside a neutral protective outer box. Have water resistance tested at each service; avoid magnetic fields and impact, and keep the watch wound or on a winder if worn infrequently.

About Audemars Piguet
