Royal Oak Offshore 25th Anniversary 26237ST.OO.1000ST.01

I'm trying to get the story on this watch. I know it was a boutique only but the AP site indicates that it is not limited but others have said that it's sold out and finished. Just trying get real story. Any help would be most appreciated.

I have been told that it is sold out for this year - it is not a limited edition, but there are limited numbers produced each year

It's the reissue of the original Royal Oak Offshore, nicknamed "the Beast," that came out in 1993 and originally designed by Emmanuel Gueit (his personal Beast was sold at Phillips auction recently for about $85k).

Anybody else on the waitlist for this watch? What are your thoughts on this piece?

Personally I love the blue dial of this reissue. I do wish they put an open caseback instead..

Limited production but hard to find due to shortage of most APs, they should continue producing it , you just have to wait for it.

limited production for sure as is everything it seems.

Went to harrods today and they had like 5 mens watches. Once you add the boutique only label to a watch its probably harder. Long gone are the days you can walk in and see watches for sale, you need to know what you want first. You can get it probably, but you wait

At least Rolex has plenty of DJ's

It is the Royal Oak Offshore that has made me consider adding a Royal Oak Offshore (and specifically this one) to my collection!
