Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore & Vacheron Constantin’s Quai de l’Île Lead Upcoming 2304 | Fine Watches Auction

NY Elizabeth will soon present “The Beast” by Audemars Piguet in its 2304 | Fine Watches Auction. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, an 18-karat white gold automatic watch, is called “The Beast” by collectors because of its sheer size. Its creators went against the trend of small watches when it was introduced in 1993. The Royal Oak Offshore came with added features like self-winding movement, an interchangeable strap system, and a dial aesthetic fit for great adventures. This limited edition example features a 42mm black ceramic case with glare-proofed sapphire crystal, a black ceramic bezel, and screw-locked crowns. A slight variation of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak with a feminine touch is also available in the sale. It has a 43mm case made of 18-karat rose gold. 

Another notable watch leading the auction is Quai de l’Île by Vacheron Constantin. It is an automatic stainless steel watch with a 41mm case. From President Harry S. Truman to rap superstar Jay-Z, Vacheron Constantin has been a favorite among the rich and famous due to the brand’s craftsmanship. The Quai de l’Île collection was crafted in 2008. It is a contemporary expression of Vacheron Constantin’s classic style. Watches from Rolex, Breitling, Tudor, and others are also available.
