When it comes to Audemars Piguet, people may immediately think of the brand’s classic Royal Oak. Despite the initial disagreement, the fake watch series has now become an avid classic series. This model is not only the flagship of the brand, it has almost become synonymous with the brand. About 20 years after the opening of Gerald Genta’s overnight masterpiece, the Royal Oak Offshore was released. This cheap watch was also controversial when it first appeared, and it also became an important member of the Audemars Piguet catalog. So let’s take a look at Royal Oak vs. Royal Oak Offshore.
Each of these replica watches is unique and unique in its own way. However, they have one important thing in common, they all represent the core concept of the brand, embracing creativity, out-of-the-box ideas and the constant commitment to traditional industry innovation.
As early as 1972. It was the night before the Swiss Watch Fair (now known as Baselworld). The famous designer Genta waas told Audemars Piguet’s managing director that he needed to design a new copy table for launch the next day. He was asked to create a brand new cheap watch: a luxury sports watch. Genta’s genius made him easily complete the challenge, and the result was the Royal Oak. It features a glamorous hexagonal bezel, unique exposed screws and an integral bracelet. Its hand-finishing gives it the luster of a dress watch, but it has the technical ability of a fake sports watch. After the mission was completed, a new watch was born.
This story continued in 1992. Audemars Piguet designer Emmanuel Gueit has more foresight this time. He once again prepared for the new concept and prepared for the trade show of the 1993 Basel International Fair. They plan to create a larger version of the now popular Royal Oak. Gueit has used his creativity to not only make the model bigger, but also add a unique style to the design. The result is amazing, with rubber washers under the baffle and silicone rubber buttons for chronograph function. However, these changes are not just aesthetics. They began using experimental materials in this industry.
