We take trades against any of our watches!!! From A Blog to Watch. In 2011, Swiss Audemars Piguet. Released a limited-edition version of the Royal Oak Offshore that was a direct nod to celebrity and famed watch-collector Arnold Schwarzenegger. 01 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy. This limited edition of 1,500 pieces mega Offshore was, first and foremost, intended to suit the large wrists and tastes of Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger The Legacy is also engraved on the rear of the watch, in case anyone were to ever forget the purpose and inspiration behind the watch. The Legacy was not, however, the first Audemars Piguet timepiece produced with or for Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first time an Arnold Schwarzenegger watch was produced by Audemars Piguet makes for an interesting story. During the late 1990s, for the film. Audemars Piguet was asked to create a prop watch that would be worn by Schwarzenegger during the film. This watch never actually worked and was simply a concept for the movie. It proved to be so popular that Audemars Piguet ended up producing a limited-edition run of Royal Oak Offshore End of Days watches with their still-good-looking black and yellow color theme. Later instances, such as the filming of. Gave Audemars Piguet another reason to produce a limited-edition watch for an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. The Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy was the first Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch produced just because for Arnold Schwarzenegger, as far as I know. Another interesting fact about the watch is that a portion of each sale went to Schwarzeneggers long-standing After School All-Stars charity foundation but theres no doubt that Mr. Schwarzenegger got a timepiece out of the deal. When you handle the Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy in person, the first thing you notice about the watch (in addition to its good looks) is the size. I believe this is the largest Royal Oak Offshore that has been produced with a claimed diameter of 48mm-wide. It is actually larger if you take into consideration the crown and pushers. I say that this watch wears like a 55mm-wide timepiece, and the strap is long as a result. From a design perspective, what stood out to me in 2011, when the Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy was debuted, was how simple and classy the overall look was. Until then, many of the limited-edition Royal Oak Offshore watches were very elaborate and technical in their designs. Audemars Piguet used their limited edition models to engage in a lot of design and materials experimentation. This is a good thing, but with The Legacy, Audemars Piguet was clearly trying to make a more classy albeit very macho limited-edition Royal Oak Offshore. The case has a familiar Royal Oak Offshore look, but with a lot of bespoke elements that help The Legacy feel distinctive and noteworthy, now eight years after its initial release. The pushers and case-side hardware are evocative of previous Royal Oak Offshore watches inspired by Mr. Schwarzeneggers (or his characters) previous Audemars Piguet watches. The dial is my favorite part of the watch, with the applied sports jersey style Arabic numerals done in matte-finished rose gold. The case, itself, is in dark gray/black ceramic with titanium elements (such as the screws) and 18k rose gold (for the pushers and crown insert). Aesthetically I think the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore The Legacy watch holds up very well. It is still handsome and feels appropriately classy, given its otherwise large size. Still, weve not really seen any subsequent Royal Oak Offshore watches borrow from this design language which helps The Legacy continue to feel like an exclusive product among many other Royal Oak Offshore models available out there. It would actually be really nice to know how Mr. Schwarzenegger feels about the design of The Legacy watch in comparison with the many other Audemars Piguet timepieces he is known to have.
