Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26205AU.OOD002CR.01 ‘Ginza 7’ Chronograph Carbon Black Dial Limited Edition of 200 (2012)

描述

The “Ginza 7” carries deeply meaningful provenance: Audemars Piguet created this limited edition of 200 pieces in 2011, exclusive to its Ginza 7-chome boutique in Tokyo, with proceeds donated to relief efforts following the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan that March. The reference unites philanthropy with one of the manufacture’s earliest commercial uses of forged carbon — the marbled composite material adopted from Formula 1 and aerospace engineering. The defining detail, a diamond-set “7” at the seven o’clock position, references the boutique’s Ginza 7-chome address, making this both one of the most charitably significant Offshores ever produced and among the rarest forged-carbon executions in the line.

The 42mm case in forged carbon features its signature swirling marbled striations, paired with a black ceramic bezel, sand-blasted titanium screw-down crown, and rubber-clad pushers. The smooth black dial — a departure from the usual “Méga Tapisserie” — carries dimensional applied black Arabic numerals with luminescent fill, three subdials with orange ring accents, and the diamond-set “7” at seven o’clock. The in-house automatic Caliber 3126/3840 delivers a 50-hour power reserve, its 22-karat gold rotor visible through the sapphire caseback, completed by a black rubber strap with titanium folding clasp.
