Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor

My sons friends dad owns this watch (among many others). Held one in my hands today. It's a beautiful watch. I used to think AP were ugly, I now get it.

AP must be handled.

Completely. Agree. It was just different and I understood in that moment.

You really need to handle an AP in order to fully appreciate it.

I've always wanted to try on the Jumbo and today I was lucky enough to try one on at the boutique in Beverly Hills. It was the solid gold version, but I am sure the SS version is finished to the same standard.

Long story short, the watch is phenomenal.

Couldn't agree more boys! Jumbo is HIGH on my list

The Survivor is pretty polarising so if you think that looks good, most of the others should look good to you too. Feel and finish are high across the range.

I heartily concur.

The finesse of the finishing all over the piece is a genuine pleasure to behold and handle. Even through all that plastic wrapping, the decoration on the movement - especially the skeletonized rotor - really shone through.
