Notes

Created in collaboration with Hollywood icon and watch aficionado Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Royal Oak Offshore Ref. 25770SN captures the bold, uncompromising spirit of both its namesake and Audemars Piguet’s revolutionary design ethos. Introduced in the late 1990s, it was among the first Offshore limited editions, setting the tone for decades of creative partnerships between the brand and celebrated figures of sport and cinema.

Its imposing case, with signature octagonal bezel secured by hexagonal screws, contrasts dramatically with the deep black “Méga Tapisserie” dial and vibrant yellow hands, a combination that enhances both legibility and presence. Beneath the surface, the automatic chronograph movement exemplifies the technical mastery that defines the Royal Oak Offshore lineage.

A watch of strength and charisma, the Ref. 25770SN “Arnold Schwarzenegger” remains a milestone in modern horology where design, performance, and personality converge in perfect proportion.
