As sponsors of the Swiss "Alinghi" America’s Cup team for most of the 2000’s, Audemars Piguet has over the years created a series of limited edition "Alinghi" Royal Oak Offshore watches of which this is a beautiful and rare example made to commemorate women in sailing.
Only 320 were made of this particular "Lady Alinghi" chronograph watch which features a stunning silvered guilloche dial, cabochon hour markers, a diamond-set rubber-moulded bezel with 32 diamonds, a white rubber strap and, strikingly, the red "Alinghi" logo contained within the subsidiary chronograph hour dial at the 9 o’clock position. The back case displays a high relief of sails, further underlining the connection to the world of sailing.
All of this is powered by AP’s excellent and highly reliable self-winding calibre 2385 movement with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours which makes this watch not only a gorgeous accessory but a functional and effective timepiece in true AP fashion as well.
37mm.
