Christmas comes early….. my grail piece
Merry Christmas everyone
Ive been looking for value and true horology pieces over what is “hype” right now. I came across an interesting article that detailed the entire history of the royal oak offshore line. It’s there that I began to learn about the first time AP ever put both the perpetual and chronograph complications in a watch. They launched this complication in white gold (what is believed to be less than 10 pieces) , pink gold (25) , Stainless steel version and titanium (less than 30-35 pieces). I feel in love with the titanium piece. I came across a full set, ( which is difficult to find as this was produced almost 20 years ago) and had to have it. When it finally arrived I was truly ecstatic. Christmas really did come early for me. Everyone says this but it really is true, “ Pics don’t do this piece justice.” But regardless I’ve included a few pics. Sorry for the long winded rant but I’m still stoaked over this new piece. Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all God Bless SB |

I’m looking for the WG version 25854BC or the orginal ROO the beast, but one of the first 100 produced.

Super excited, only issue is it was a collectors safe queen. Literally brand new. Had two services performed by Clearwater. I’m almost afraid to wear it…. But F it, life is short
Thanks everyone for kind words. |

Congratulations, enjoy it!
I first learned about the 25854 from your other thread, and I think you are spot-on about an underappreciated ROO model. QP + Chrono is spectacular. The Ti version is ideal from my perspective, lighter weight and more durable. |
