Royal Oak Offshore Diver 42mm Steel

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref. 15710ST.OO.A002CA.02 represents a sophisticated evolution of the manufacturer's professional diving collection. Having extensively tested various Diver models, our technical team has found this white-dialed variant to offer exceptional contrast underwater, where ambient light diminishes rapidly with depth. Released in the mid-2010s, this reference maintains the core design elements that established the collection while introducing the exhibition caseback that collectors increasingly demand.

Specifications demonstrate serious diving credentials: The 42mm stainless steel case provides 300m water resistance, internal rotating bezel operated via the 10 o'clock crown with unidirectional ratcheting mechanism for dive timing, screw-down crown at 3 o'clock, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and exhibition caseback revealing the self-winding Calibre 3120. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour with 60 hours of power reserve, featuring instantaneous date change, bidirectional winding via 22-carat gold rotor, and 40 jewels throughout the gear train. The white "Méga Tapisserie" pattern dial incorporates applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands with enhanced luminescent coating that maintains visibility even in limited light conditions—essential for a proper diving instrument.

Master Luxury presents this excellent condition example with original box and papers dated October 2015. Our technical department has verified water resistance remains within factory specifications, and the functioning of the internal rotating bezel mechanism maintains proper detent action with no slippage. This reference shows none of the common issues that can affect white-dialed watches—no discoloration or spotting on the dial surface. This increasingly collectible model represents exceptional value relative to more limited ceramic or precious metal diving watches while offering both technical capability and distinctive aesthetics.
