When Audemars Piguet wants to make a statement it goes big. So for the brand’s return to Dubai Watch Week – the city’s leading watch event – it made sure to make a big splash celebrating the release of new collection of Royal Oak Offshore timepieces.
Now, what is a celebration without a party? Which is where Esquire comes in. Amid AP’s spectacular custom-built, Beyond the Limits: A Journey through Time, Design and Materials exhibition, a select list of our keenest timepiece enthusiasts were invited to attend a stylish cocktail party to fete the watchmaker’s return to Dubai Watch Week.
Championing the Manufacture’s endless quest for innovation, the heart of the exhibition was the Royal Oak Offshore – a muscular sports watch which has been one of the brand’s main platforms for creative experimentation.
Launched in 1993, this pioneering watch has defied established conventions and set the trend of large-sized watches adapted to extreme sports and lifestyles. Taking ever-more creative dimensions with a wide array of unyielding materials, sizes and colours, the Royal Oak Offshore embodies Audemars Piguet’s rule-breaking and free-spirited attitude. Much like an Esquire party.
