Audemars Piguet · Family: Royal Oak Offshore
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01 is the 42mm steel, blue Méga Tapisserie-dial execution of the dive-oriented model within the Offshore family, updated in 2019 with the in-house Calibre 4308. It carries 300m water resistance, well above the standard Offshore chronograph. Cazador has no verified price observations. Its differential: a ceramic bezel and grooved rubber strap built for salt water without abandoning Gérald Genta's design identity.

The Royal Oak Offshore was born in 1993, designed by Emmanuel Gueit under Audemars Piguet's supervision, as a larger-proportioned take on Gérald Genta's original 1972 Royal Oak. At 42mm versus the extra-thin 39mm Royal Oak Jumbo, the Offshore earned the nickname "The Beast" and a divided initial reception from the specialist press; over the following decades it became a commercial success that helped normalize oversized sports watches across the wider industry.
Within that family, Audemars Piguet introduced a dedicated diving execution in 2010, reference 15703ST, with an integrated rubber strap, a ceramic bezel, and water resistance expanded to 300 meters — a departure from the Royal Oak's tradition of a sapphire display case back, since a dive watch demands stronger sealing in that area.
In 2019, the manufacture updated the Offshore Diver with a new in-house Calibre 4308, replacing the earlier movement built around Calibre 3120, and renumbered the reference to 15710ST. The change sits within Audemars Piguet's broader push to reduce reliance on older movement architectures in favor of internally designed automatic calibers.
The rubber strap keeps a grooved pattern that visually echoes the hexagonal screws on the octagonal bezel, preserving the Royal Oak's design DNA despite the material shift away from the collection's classic integrated steel bracelet.
Audemars Piguet has rotated several dial colorways within the Diver line over the years — blue, yellow, orange, among others — which makes it difficult to confirm with precision whether a specific execution like the 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01 remains in current catalog at any given moment without checking the manufacturer's up-to-date listing.
The Diver drops the chronograph function in exchange for 300m water resistance versus the chronograph Offshore's typical 100m, and swaps the classic steel bracelet for an integrated rubber strap.
Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference. We do not estimate or invent a figure without our own PricePoints; this section activates once sufficient data exists.
The in-house Calibre 4308, automatic, introduced in the 2019 update that replaced the earlier movement built around Calibre 3120 in reference 15703ST.
It's the nickname the original 1993 Offshore earned for its 42mm case, far larger than the extra-thin 39mm Royal Oak Jumbo by Gérald Genta that was current at the time.
Yes. Its 300-meter water resistance and screw-down security crown make it the dedicated dive-oriented execution within the Offshore family, unlike the standard Offshore chronograph.
It's an enlarged version of the embossed "tapisserie" dial finish that has defined the Royal Oak since its 1972 origin, scaled up into a larger pattern for Offshore executions.
We do not precisely confirm this in this fiche. Audemars Piguet frequently rotates dial colorways within the Diver line; verify against the current catalog before assuming availability.
