Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Forged Carbon 42mm 2013 [Preowned]

Overview 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore models are part of AP's more sportier and masculine version of the Royal Oak. Introduced in 1993 it was a hit amongst collectors, projecting a more modern version of a classic design.

The Offshore Diver was introduced in 2010 - to finally produce a regular edition of its Diver / Scuba watches. Before this model, AP has already introduced Scuba Diver models which were limited editions. The Diver differs from the typical Offshore models whereby it has a rotating inner bezel (which can be adjusted from a crown at 10 o clock), and a depth rating of 300m (as opposed to a typical 100m for the normal Offshores).

The 15706AU reference is a forged carbon version of the Offshore Diver. This reference was only made for a short time (around 2012-2013). Introduced in 2012 during SIHH and later released until 2013. AP no longer make this reference - but a later ceramic version was released - AP 15707CE to supercede the forged carbon version.

The 15706AU is also known as the "other Bumble Bee" which gives reference to the original Bumble Bee (reference 26176FO). According to AP, no two forged carbon cases are the same.
