If you wanna know the price, simply click the links in the description below. We'll greatly appreciate if you buy your next watch from us at jaztime.com. Today, we'll be talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in 18 carat pink gold casing and a dial, ceramic crown and push pieces with black Arabic numerals, reference number 26470OR.OO.1000OR.01, or for short, "The Brick." We will be discussing the case, bezel, dial, crown, bracelet, clasp, and its movement. And I'll give you my thoughts throughout the video. This case is 42 millimeters from finger to thumb. And is also constructed of pink gold with the larger sides brushed with a Sutton finish with small polished vertices that give each shape and form on the case to be highlighted as if each piece was constructed separately, and joined as separate floating pieces. Very interesting. The bezel is also constructed of pink gold, polished on the sides with the Sutton finish on the face, with eight hexagonal-shaped screw heads, applying some gestalt in that the slots of the heads all travel in such a way that the slots go in a circle directly around the bezel. The bezel on this Offshore model, is part of what makes it the Offshore. The large black gasket on this bezel increases the case thickness up to 40 millimeters of thickness. The inner bezel matching that of the rubber gasket is also black and contains the tachymetric marks as you would expect of a chronograph of this caliber so you can count how many miles you traveled per hour, for example, right? So, there, you can see the tachymeter, all right? So, that leads us to the dial, which is also made of pink gold with a "Méga Tapisserie" pattern overlaid with black Arabic numerals outlaid in pink gold, which are also then overlaid with black sub-dials, also outlined in pink gold. All of this gold basically, adds up to why it's called "The Brick." You certainly feel the gold's construction, because it's heavy as a brick. The sub-dials are arranged such that you have the small seconds at the 12 o'clock position. You can see the small seconds hand moving there, with the chrono dials at the nine and six o'clock positions showing 30-minute and 12-hour dials respectively. The crown has the AP logo made of ceramic and buttress by crown guards, and it functions as you would expect. Simply unwind the crown to the first position. You can wind the watch at this point, pulling it out to the next position, allows you to advance the date one at a time. It's about a full one, or maybe about 90 degrees until you reach the next state. And then pull out to the next position to stop the seconds hand. As you can see there, the seconds hand has stopped. And you can then move the minute hand for precise timekeeping. Press the crown back up against the case to ensure that 50 meters of water resistance. The crystal also is NATO scratch-resistant Sapphire both on the top and the bottom, so you can see the movement through the bottom. This allows you to basically fit this under any suit, or coat sleeve without the fear of any threads, or buttons damaging the crystal, all right? So, the movement for this watch, while we're there, is potentially one of the most important aspects, is of the caliber 3126/3840 manufacture, a diameter of 29.2 millimeters inside with 13 3/4 lines, its balance wheel beating at a frequency of three Hertz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a monoblock oscillating weight of 22 carat gold, variable inertia blocks held together with a screw mobile stud and 54 jewels totaling to 365 total parts, allowing you to control the chronograph, the date and the minute hand while automatically running the hour in small seconds hands. The movement provides up to 50 hours of power reserve, and allows for bi-directional winding so you can continue to wind the watch with your natural wrist movements. The bracelet for this model is also made of pink gold to really hammer home that idea that this is certainly a brick as if the case weren't heavy enough. You also have the gold bracelet to round it all off. All of the links and the intermediate links are brushed along the larger visible areas. But if you look closely, all of the edges as well as the interiors, actually have a high Polish. And when you look at it at just the right angle in the light it carries the same aesthetic as that of the case. It's as if all the pieces were glowing separately, and just sort of floating apart from each other. Another good point about this bracelet is that it cannot actually collapse any more as the intermediate links working together actually force the bracelet to maintain that rounded shape. So, there's actually no fear of setting this down and potentially scratching the case back. The clasp, as you can see, is the double deployment sequential clasp that is more comfortable for snug fit or for smaller wrists. But at 42 millimeters in diameter for the case rather, and with the heft of this watch weighing at over 320 grams or over 11 ounces, it would make sense for someone with a thicker wrist, and therefore stronger arm to carry this timepiece. So, why does all this matter? Why am I going over all of this? Well, taking a look at the history of this model, the Offshore was actually largely considered a failure at launch, but over time, its size has allowed for modifications. The first design for this specific model type was on a white dial with rubber chrono pushers, its model number being the 26170OR, which by the way, is available to purchase on our site at jaztime.com. You can follow the links in the description below to see that. And so, over the generations of this Royal Oak Offshore, the size of the case has shrank down as far as 37 millimeters, and grown as large as 45 millimeters with the case that has allowed for all sorts of complications and functionality. And within the same model lines, different generations showed us different dial colors such as brown, black, and even gray. But only one watch from each generation was released with a gold bracelet. And so from this generation, it was this model, "The Brick." So, if you want an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak offshore with its matching gold bracelet, this will be the one to purchase. And it is available now at jaztime.com. Now, keep in mind this specific model is pre-owned, but that's not to say that we do not also have the new model also available. With that said, you really can't consider a watch without considering the bracelet as well, especially in the case of "The Brick" right? Now, to try it on. Remember sequential clasp, one side before the other. All right. Now, personally, I think that this watch is an absolute beast of a watch. It's extremely heavy for a time piece. And I highly recommend this model for anybody who's ready to show off their arm muscles at a moment's notice. And yes, I'm challenging you strong man behind the monitor. If you can claim you can deadlift, you can certainly do so with this watch. It's heavy, but what you have to carry around is certainly all that gold, certainly carries all of its weight literally in gold. So, enough of my thoughts. What are your thoughts?
