Hello Friends,

As the calendar has turned to June, we have all had plenty of time to contemplate Audemars Piguet's newest 42mm Royal Oak Offshore collection. Thanks to my fellow Moderators, and thanks to many of you, our great members, we have all been able to see these 6 new Offshores repeatedly on our forum. And hopefully many of you had had the opportunity to see them live at local AP Boutiques and other authorized AP points of sale.

A bit under the radar is the wonderful new book AP has made to celebrate the new Offshore collection. All of the new models are finely captured. Even better, the first book within the orange binder contains a wonderful walk through all of the previous 42mm self-winding Royal Oak Offshores, including the Limited Edition versions. And an incredible list at the end of the volume summarizes these 118 references presented from 1993-2014. Every AP fan needs this volume in their collection.

Here are a few photos of the book:

Key Points from the Discussion

The Audemars Piguet 'Go Offshore' book is a wonderful and comprehensive read, considered a must-have for all Offshore fans due to its detailed coverage of the collection.
Among the new 42mm Royal Oak Offshore models, the grey dial version is a popular choice, appreciated for its versatile color combination and overall aesthetic.
The blue dial Offshore is a strong contender, with some collectors also appreciating the warm feel of the Safari and the pink gold on a leather strap, despite concerns about inner bezel colors making watches appear smaller.
The grey dial Offshore is favored for its ability to be dressed up or down, making it suitable for various occasions and complementing common attire like jeans and jackets.
The blue dial model 'screams NAUTICAL,' leading to a wish for it to be offered in a rose gold case for an enhanced aesthetic.
While the new 42mm models are discussed, some collectors still prefer other Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore references, such as the white ceramic 44mm ROO, for specific occasions.
