About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes, manual & dated paper. This watch received a complete service by the AP Service Centre in Aug 2014 for $1,910 with a new two year warranty and never worn since.

The Forged Carbon Royal Oak, Off-Shore Alinghi Team was specially made for the 2007 America's Cup to honour the 32nd America's Cup defender and only 1300 numbered pieces were manufactured. It is also is the first forged carbon cased watch which is a revolutionary timepiece when launched and caused much stir in the horology world. The dial is decorated with the logo of Team Alinghi and depicted on the titanium case back as well.

The dial has an opening from 12 to 3 o'clock which features a 10 minute countdown Yacht-Timer scale for regatta use. The only AP Royal Oak so far to have this function.

It was a breakthrough in watch making history as this was the first time that such an exotic material harnessing the advancement of technology was able to produce an ultra light weight watch that's very comfortable on the wrist. The appearance of the case has a marbled effect which is satin and soft to feel while no two pieces are the same as the carbon fibre is randomly distributed in the mould then created under intense pressure and heat. The result is unpredictable. It weighs a mere 92 grams while the gold model weighs 461 grams.

This watch was so sought after that intense demand by collectors propelled the real world price to over S$60K when available. Today, our watch here can be yours for a lot lesser and it has benefitted from a service by the agent. The box is styled after the winch from a sailing boat and weights a fair bit. This watch comes complete with it's original accessories.

*6% GST is included in the advertised price for sales in Malaysia only & discount will be given for cash payment.
