Audemars Piguet 26040ST Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Polaris SS Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Polaris 26040ST.OO.D002CA.01 stands as an emphatic celebration of high-performance sailing and horological prowess. Released in 2007 as a special edition limited to just 2,000 pieces, it commemorates Audemars Piguet’s partnership with Team Alinghi during their America’s Cup campaigns. Housed within a robust 44 mm stainless steel case, this Offshore variant is distinguished by its black dial punctuated with Alinghi red accents and the regatta countdown chapter ring, designed to serve discerning yachtsmen. The technical heart is the self-winding caliber 2326/2847, notable for its flyback chronograph and innovative regatta timer—two sought-after complications that amplify the Offshore’s sporting pedigree. With a significant 300-meter depth rating, the model is as functional on the water as it is striking on the wrist. Collectors value this edition for its unique regatta complication, one of the rare dual-complication configurations in the Royal Oak Offshore lineage. Its assertive design, integrated rubber strap, and connection to yachting history cement the Alinghi Polaris’s status as not only a collector’s trophy but a testament to Audemars Piguet’s technical versatility and adventurous legacy.
