Overview
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42 in titanium, reference 26238TI, represents a refined chapter in the long-running Offshore lineage. Its 42 mm titanium case strikes a balance between the line's signature boldness and a lighter, more wearable presence on the wrist. The Méga Tapisserie dial, offered in grey and blue executions with contrasting subdials, anchors the watch firmly in the Offshore aesthetic vocabulary.
History
The Royal Oak Offshore was conceived in 1993 as a sportier, larger-cased extension of Gerald Genta's iconic Royal Oak, and it has since grown into one of the most recognisable luxury sport-chronograph families in the world. Reference 26238TI entered production in 2021, bringing titanium — a material prized for its low density and high strength — into the current-generation 42 mm Offshore chronograph range. The use of Calibre 4404, an in-house integrated chronograph movement, reflects Audemars Piguet's sustained investment in manufacture-level watchmaking for the Offshore collection.
Notable points
- 42 mm titanium case offers a notably lighter wearing experience than equivalent steel or gold references.
- Calibre 4404 is an integrated, self-winding chronograph movement developed entirely in-house by Audemars Piguet.
- The Méga Tapisserie dial pattern — a bolder, larger-scale evolution of the classic Petite Tapisserie — is a defining Offshore design signature.
- Available in grey and blue dial variants, each with colour-coordinated chronograph subdials.
- Introduced in 2021 as part of a broader modernisation of the Offshore 42 mm reference family.
