The dial

Blue depths, yellow signal

The blue Méga Tapisserie dial is cut through by a vivid yellow inner rotating dive scale and matching chronograph accents — a color code borrowed from the language of the deep, where yellow is the last hue to survive descending light. Oversized white gold hands and applied indices keep it legible from the surface to the seabed.

The provenance

One of four hundred

Introduced at SIHH 2016 for the debut of the vibrant Diver Chronograph series, this reference was limited to just 400 pieces worldwide and sold exclusively through Audemars Piguet boutiques. With the 42mm chronograph diver configuration now discontinued, it has become a trophy for collectors of the modern Offshore.

The movement

Calibre 3124/3841

Built on AP's in-house Calibre 3120 with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module, this movement carries 59 jewels, a 50-hour power reserve, and a 22-carat gold rotor mounted on ceramic ball bearings. Geneva stripes and polished bevels finish the bridges — engineering rated to 300 meters, dressed for Le Brassus.

This is your opportunity to own one of the boldest and most collectible Royal Oak Offshore references: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph in the striking Yellow/Blue colorway. This rare model (Ref. 26703ST.OO.A027CA.01) was introduced in 2016 as part of a limited production run of just 400 pieces worldwide, released exclusively through Audemars Piguet boutiques for the SIHH debut of its vibrant Diver Chronograph series. The daring color combination, combined with its boutique-only status and now-discontinued 42mm chronograph diver configuration, makes this a trophy watch for serious collectors.

The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case with AP's signature brushed finishing and a bold, masculine silhouette. The dial showcases the iconic blue "Méga Tapisserie" pattern, contrasted with a vivid yellow inner rotating dive scale and chronograph accents. AP's oversized white gold hands and applied indices ensure superb legibility, while maintaining luxury refinement.

Powering this timepiece is the Audemars Piguet Calibre 3124/3841 — a modular movement built on the brand's in-house Calibre 3120, fitted with a Dubois-Dépraz 3841 chronograph module. This cam-actuated chronograph movement features 59 jewels, a 50-hour power reserve, and beats at 3Hz (21,600 vph). Collectors appreciate this caliber for its balance of reliability, performance, and sophisticated finishing — including a gold rotor mounted on ceramic ball bearings and hand-finished bridges with Geneva stripes and polished bevels.

This example presents in near-mint condition, showing only the faintest signs of gentle wear under close inspection. The watch remains unpolished and fully original. It includes its original AP wood box and outer box, and is accompanied by the official AP Archive Extract dated July 2016 — verifying its authenticity and production details.
