The Royal Oak Offshore was made in celebration for the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak. It debuted in 1993 and the present example is one of the early reference 25721ST.OO.1000ST.01. Nicknamed “The Beast” for its hefty steel on steel design and large 42 mm case size, happens to be one of those pieces under the 1000 produced with D Serial. Very nicely preserved, it features the deep blue tapisserie dial that is highly sought after by collectors with date at 3 o’clock and unusually 12, 6 and 9 o’clock subsidiary counters. This is an amazing opportunity to own an early model of an iconic reference.
