Audemars Piguet
Royal Oak Offshore
The Swiss are known for four things – their banks, their neutrality, their knives and their watches. For some strange reason, they have always had the perfect time, and consequently, perfect timepieces. It is an obsession with time beyond the concept of how much it takes to create that wristwatch. The Swiss simply want their time perfect, without sparing any thought to expense.
Audemars Piguet is one such maker, and their prestige in the watch-making world is excellent. The company began in 1882, and by 1889, was manufacturing its own watches with the strictest quality control, and under direct supervision, no less. Today, Audemars Piguet produces only 26,000 timepieces a year, which speaks greatly of its quality.

It is difficult to find the reason to buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Baguette, except that of opulence and elegance combined. It is a watch worth a house, maybe even several. Its casing alone is made up of 18 carats of white gold, with 456 cut diamonds lined to tile the whole face of the watch. It is simple and stylish enough not to be gaudy – it is just luxury, pure and simple, without a care or thought in the world.
The design of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph might appeal to those with a more sporting lifestyle. Like the Baguette, it has an 18-carat white gold casing, but that is where the similarity ends. The design of the Tourbillon is incredibly busier than the Baguette, filled with dials and hands on the face of the Tourbillon. But it does have a pink gold sapphire caseback, and 18 more carats in its AP folding clasp. And colors contrast inside the Tourbillon, finishing an aggressive, no nonsense appearance.
From the designs alone, you can conclude why there are only 26,000 timepieces produced by Audemars Piguet each year.
Your Choices
If you can afford to wear the price of several houses on your wrist, by all means, get an Audemars Piguet. But in case your situation is not so, there are still options available for you, should you desire the Audemars Piguet.
Your first option will be an Audemars Piguet with lesser precious metals or stones in it. Jewelry watches might appeal only to a select few who can afford them, but there are watches of similar designs and less opulence, if the design is what appeals to you.
Another option is to buy a reproduction watch imitating the style of Audemars Piguet. This will certainly have no real precious metals and stones along with the watch, but the design will be exactly the same, and the lower quality materials used to make these Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore replicas should still be of quality, especially if compared with lower end watches and not the originals.
And those are your options. If the design is what you desire, these are far more cost-effective options than buying an original Audemars Piguet. Buying a good quality Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore fake can certainly do the trick.
