To mark the twentieth anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore, Audemars Piguet collaborated with NBA superstar Lebron James to launch another limited edition version of the Royal Oak Offshore in 2013. Lebron James wanted a timepiece in a colour scheme that was as unusual as it was stylish, one that would go well with a dinner jacket as well as a casual outfit.
The 44 mm case is made of high-quality pink gold. The light grey "mega tapisserie" dial is has large pink gold numerals and is perfectly complemented by the titanium bezel and grey strap. The diamond-set chronograph pusher made of black ceramic at 2 o'clock further adds to the appeal of the watch, which is powered by the robust yet delicate 3126/3840 calibre revealed by the sapphire crystal case back bearing Lebron James' printed signature.
Due to its limited number of pieces and unique features, the Royal Oak Offshore Lebron James watch is a coveted collector's item and held in great esteem by watch lovers all over the world.
