Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26238OR.OO.2000OR.01

New-Generation Offshore in Precious Metal

The 26238OR marks a turning point for the Offshore line. Previous precious-metal Offshores came on straps — this is the first to get a full rose gold integrated bracelet with the AP folding clasp. The links follow the same octagonal DNA as the Royal Oak, scaled up to 42mm with the trademark crown guards flanking the signed crown.

Weight distribution is noticeably front-heavy compared to the steel 26238ST. That heft is part of the appeal. The brushed and polished finishing on the bracelet catches light differently than steel, giving the watch a presence that photographs rarely capture.

Caliber 4404 Flyback Chronograph

The 4404 is AP’s column-wheel flyback movement — 40 jewels, 28,800 vph, 70 hours of power reserve. Flyback means you can reset and restart the chronograph without stopping first, which matters if you actually use the function. The movement runs at a lower jewel count than the older 3126/3840 but gains 20 hours of reserve.

Through the sapphire caseback, the 22K gold rotor and Geneva stripes are visible. The movement architecture is modern: thinner mainspring barrel, more efficient gear train. For daily wear, the 70-hour reserve means you can take it off Friday evening and pick it up Monday morning without resetting. Practical detail for a watch at this level.

This replica royal oak offshore 26238OR reproduces the column-wheel chronograph mechanism with correct pusher feel and consistent timing across all three registers.
