Racing Heritage on the Wrist

This edition underscores Audemars Piguet’s long-standing affinity with motorsport culture. The National Classic Tour, a prestigious rally for vintage cars, served as inspiration for this Offshore. The design reflects dashboard-style instrumentation, with strong use of red and white racing accents against the iconic Offshore dial.

The dial features Audemars Piguet’s signature black “Méga Tapisserie” guilloché pattern, oversized luminescent Arabic numerals, and three white sub-dials outlined in racing red that evoke classic rally timers. A red-and-white tachymeter ring enhances the motorsport DNA, while a date aperture at 3 o’clock ensures practical functionality.

On the back, the closed stainless steel caseback is engraved with “Royal Oak Offshore – The National Classic Tour – Limited Edition” and the individual production number xx/40, cementing its identity as one of the most exclusive Offshore chronographs ever produced.

With just 40 pieces produced, the Royal Oak Offshore National Classic Tour Limited Edition is among the rarest Offshore chronographs ever released. While most Offshore limited editions were issued in runs of several hundred, this micro-production makes it a grail-level Offshore for collectors.

Its fusion of motorsport heritage, bold Offshore design, and ultra-low production numbers ensures enduring desirability among both Audemars Piguet connoisseurs and automotive enthusiasts.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26364ST.OO.D003CU.01 National Classic Tour Limited Edition is a watch that fuses the prestige of motorsport with the power of haute horlogerie.
