While this Offshore may be the first to make a direct reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger, it is not the first collaboration between Audemars Piguet and the American star.
Indeed, Audemars Piguet has previously produced several cinematographic timepieces that were worn by Schwarzenegger in his movies.
These watches have now become highly sought-after items for collectors, the most famous of which being the “End of Days” Offshore introduced in 1999 (the first Royal Oak darkened by a PVD treatment), and the "Terminator 3" Offshore in 2003 (with its oversized push button protectors).
An Exceptional Finish
While ceramic is not a new development for Audemars Piguet, it’s worth noting that the Arnold Schwarzenegger Legacy is the first Royal Oak to be made entirely with that material.
The alternating polished, brushed and mat surfaces on the case and bezel really emphasize the
designers’ work on the Offshore casings.
Already quite virile, the watch has now gotten a major dose of testosterone: the 48 mm diameter is quite vivid, and the screwed-in handles on the shoulders look like they belong on some ultra-modern combat equipment.
Only the pink gold keys are a reminder that this watch would be more at home at a hip night club than on a battlefield.
The dial preserves the traditional Royal Oak “mega-tapestry” guilloché engraving pattern while the markers are made with pink old.
The “diamond” treatment on those markers - a type of diamond powder polish resulting in a very fine brushed finish look - provides a sumptuous lighting effect.
As is common with Audemars Piguet watches, the production quality is absolutely exceptional, and the finish and crafting of the materials on the case and dial reach the highest levels of perfection.
The aramid strap (a material used in the manufacturing of bullet-proof vests) is a perfect match for the watch.
It’s an ideal combination, both in terms of aesthetic coherence, and the overall spirit of the watch itself!
