Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26400IO.OO.A004CA.01

Titanium • Ceramic Bezel • Grey “Méga Tapisserie” Dial

A true heavyweight in the Offshore lineup, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26400IO.OO.A004CA.01 combines ruggedness, technical innovation, and unmistakable design. Released in 2014, this reference was part of a new generation of 42mm Offshore Chronographs that introduced updated case construction and the powerful Caliber 3126/3840 automatic movement.

Why It’s Special:
• Case Material: Forged from lightweight titanium, giving the piece immense wrist presence without the weight.
• Bezel: Black ceramic bezel, virtually scratch-proof and contrasts beautifully with the titanium case.
• Dial: The signature grey “Méga Tapisserie” dial is matched with silver-toned subdials and bold red accents, giving it a motorsport-inspired feel.
• Pushers & Crown: Also in ceramic — not just for looks, but for durability.
• Strap: Grey rubber strap with AP titanium pin buckle, perfect for comfort and sportiness.
• Movement: In-house Caliber 3126/3840, visible through the sapphire caseback, offering a 50-hour power reserve and bulletproof reliability.

A Bit of Background:

The 26400 series was a key refresh to the Offshore line. It modernized the case design, improved ergonomics, and brought more robust materials like ceramic and titanium into the core collection — a shift that collectors appreciated. This particular grey/red reference is widely admired for its sporty-yet-understated look, making it one of the most versatile modern Offshores.
