About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes complete with original wooden box with carbon fibre+outer box, manual & undated paper.

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off-shore Chronograph is a special F1 Driver's Limited edition of just 1000 numbered pieces made. It was produced with the then F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya who was a driver for team Williams and subsequently McLaren when this watch was made. Known as JPM for short, this was the first Off-shore chronograph to feature a glass back for us to view it's movement while the hands show the Columbian National flag colours and features many first with entirely different push buttons for the chronograph & bolts+nuts that would influence latter models. The locking crown was inspired by the center-lock nut from the wheels of F1 racing cars while the perforated rotor on the movement is to mimic the clutch plate from the transmission of cars. In short, the watch was heavily influenced by racing car elements and hence it's success.

This watch was serviced by the AP service center in end 2015 but the receipt has been lost.

This is a highly collectible Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch is in mint condition and didn't require a polish from us. The original leather strap was worn-out and discarded so an original white rubber strap is fitted which matches the dial. You can find similar leather strap from AP bands and even custom-make straps of your design to fit this watch. The strap is the least of your concern.

A sold-out model and highly sought after by collectors. Our watch here has impeccable provenance. It is a single owner item, comes full set and has agent service history.
