Embrace the darkness with Audemars Piguet's latest enticing offer, a new generation of the famed Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, designed entirely in black ceramic.

In recent years, Audemars Piguet has caught the attention of watch aficionados with their splendidly sleek Black Ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, affectionately nicknamed the ‘Black Beast.’ Now, as part of their 2025 collection, Audemars Piguet introduces a fresh take on this timeless model, boasting an even darker and more sophisticated demeanor.

Fast-forward to 2023, the heritage brand presented a new iteration of this beloved timepiece, the reference 26238CE. The manufacturer preserved the classic elements of the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph while introducing a black ceramic case and bracelet bringing a contemporary tone to the classic Royal Oak Offshore chronograph.

For the 2025 collection, the tale of the ‘Black Beast’ takes a new turn as Audemars Piguet reveals a revamped Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm 26238CE. While some might be tempted to name it the ‘Ultra-Black Beast’ or the ‘Blacker-than-Black Beast,’ due to its darker dial and wholly monochromatic design, this black beauty, in all its stealthy elegance, demonstrates that audacious design choices pave the way for watch-making innovation.
