Audemars Piguet pleases ladies by the introduction of its new Royal Oak Offshore Ladycat chronograph watch.
The novelty, aimed at sporty women who enjoy meeting new challenges, reflects the black, gold, and green colors of the racing catamaran supported by the brand. It has been created in two versions - in steel or white gold, limited to 150 and 10 pieces respectively.
The case-back of the new Audemars Piguet watch features the Ladycat logo, paying tribute to the only sailing boat that joins the D35 competitions with a lady at the helm.
The white gold model demonstrates the dial completed with black mother-of-pearl counters. The dial is framed by a gem-paved bezel. The diamonds also sparkle at the studs and folding clasp. The total number of diamonds is 323. The watch is teamed with a black rubber strap, creating a distinctive contrast with sparkle of the highest-quality diamonds.
The steel model also pleases the glance by its pure lines, and gem-set bezel and studs.
The sturdy case, 37 mm in diameter, accommodates a mechanical self-winding movement. The mechanism, best described as efficient and accurate, allows measuring short time periods over a 12-hour period, on demand and as often as you need.
The movement is equipped with an 18K gold oscillating weight and its finishing corresponds to the finest horological traditions. It gives an advantage of a 40-hour power reserve.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Ladycat Chronograph watch is 50-meter water-resistant. It is a limited edition timepiece.
