I don't think so.
My early understanding is that the current 42mm Offshore collection is being discontinued. This includes the rubberclads. I continue to try and clarify these points, but with AP still at SIHH it might take a few days. Hopefully, our other Moderators at SIHH will be able to provide firm answers to these questions.
Based on attending SIHH in 2013, I can't say that I am surprised by this year's plan. Clearly, this is not a year AP wanted to step on the gas and launch completely new models, but instead continue with last year's message of focusing on the core collection and tightening things up.
I would expect a new rubberclad in the near future, based upon previous remarks made by Francois Bennahmias.
SIHH 2014: Audemars Piguet 42mm Royal Oak Offshores
Hello friends, I am writing today not from Geneva, but from Denver. We have PuristSPro Moderators on the ground at SIHH who will be bringing forth much more information and live photos on the new AP novelties. For now, let's take a look at what we know on...
Beautiful ! Very well done indeed ! AP
I really love the black dial with red accents and the blue dial with orange accents models .. Kudos on the ceramic pushers and crown and sapphire exhibition caseback.. Can't wait for these to be available !
Love the Red and Blue variants
The new black/white/red and blue/white/orange combinations are scintillating, and although I'm not an ardent fan of the original Safari, it looks like the spiritual successor preserves the essentials of the first model. The all-gray strap/case/bezel/dial/...
Strap width?
Are the straps the same taper as on the current 42mm line up but featuring a smaller tang buckle or are they a thicker taper like the Diver strap with large tang buckle? Cheers
Question
Does the blue faced SS 42 have the same color blue dial and strap as the 44mm 26401?
Very nice. Will the Rubberclad be included in the update?
Or will the bezel also be ceramic? Although I am liking that pink gold bezel. Thanks for the update. JerryW

Nicely done and glad to see AP continue to offer the 42mm Offshore
I'm liking the blue version and hope to see live pics of what shade of blue it is. Cool strap too and a nice update to the ROO collection. Regards, ED-209
The watches look a bit sleeker to me
Certainly more refined than the outgoing 42mm models.
44mm novelties?
Any pictures of the new 44mm ROO Platinum Tourbillon Chronograph please?
I love the new rose gold Offshore on bracelet.
And nice to see ceramic pushers and crowns now. Thanks for the report Michael!
Ivory dial of new Safari...
Looks very promising! Im waiting for live pcis. Cermet for bezels will work better for new 42 offshores. :( OK, will be next step for upgrade.
Looking forward as well.
The Safari is one of my favorite regular collection Offshores.
