Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph ‘End of Days’ 42mm

About the Model

Audemars Armageddon Emissary

Audemars Piguet has firmly established itself at the pinnacle of horology, with the Royal Oak serving as a cornerstone of its legacy since its debut in 1972 at Baselworld. Designed by Gérald Genta, the Royal Oak redefined luxury sports watches with its unique octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet. The Royal Oak Offshore was introduced in 1993, evolving the original design into a bolder, thicker case aimed at a sportier audience. This model quickly became a favorite, cementing itself as a staple in both luxury and sports watch circles. In 1997, the Offshore line saw its first limited edition, the “End of Days,” created in collaboration with Arnold Schwarzenegger during the filming of the movie of the same name. This remarkable piece not only marked a significant shift in watch design but also embraced innovative materials and functionalities.
