This replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph combines an unusual chronograph-tourbillon movement featuring peripheral made by Renaud & Papi with a carbon composite case.
The case is 44 mm, in carbon composite with a black ceramic bezel, ceramic pushers and titanium crown guards. The narrow, semicircular made of platinum sits under the dial, rendering it almost invisible, but not quite. That's because the chapter ring of the dial with the minute markings is made of clear sapphire, revealing the peripheral rotor as well as the large toothed gear that connects to the winding mechanism at two o'clock.
The movement looks traditional, with hints of nineteenth century pocket watch movements in its design, as is often the case with Renaud & Papi's chronograph movements. Aside from the elegantly shaped bridges, another notable detail is the grand sonnerie style winding click visible at 11 o'clock on the movement.
