Audemars Piguet · Family: Royal Oak Offshore
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 is the steel 42mm re-edition of "The Beast," the original 1993 Offshore, released in 2021. It runs the in-house Calibre 4404, an automatic flyback chronograph with 70 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its standout detail: it revives the 1993 Offshore's proportions and design almost literally — the watch AP once marketed as "the largest, most provocative Royal Oak ever created."

In 1993, Audemars Piguet unveiled the first Royal Oak Offshore, designed by Emmanuel Gueit: a 42mm take on Gérald Genta's Royal Oak that felt oversized against the original's 39mm, and which the brand itself promoted as "the largest, most provocative Royal Oak ever created." Collectors nicknamed it "The Beast" almost immediately.
In 2021, marking that pioneering reference's anniversary, Audemars Piguet released a re-edition faithful to the 1993 Offshore's proportions and visual language, now powered by the in-house Calibre 4404: an integrated automatic flyback chronograph, able to reset timing without first stopping the function, delivering 70 hours of power reserve through a twin-barrel architecture.
Reference 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 is the steel execution with a blue Petite Tapisserie dial, one of the hand-applied guilloché finishes Audemars Piguet has used on the Royal Oak dial since the original 1972 design. The integrated steel bracelet includes the interchangeable-strap system AP introduced in the Offshore's recent generation, paired here with an additional blue rubber strap.
Within Cazador's catalog, this reference stands apart from the Royal Oak Offshore Diver already covered as the chronograph variant of the Offshore family — closer in spirit to the original 1993 Offshore than to the Diver's dedicated dive-tool vocation.

It's the name collectors gave the original 1993 Offshore for its 42mm size, considered massive next to the 39mm classic Royal Oak of the era.
The in-house Calibre 4404, an integrated automatic flyback chronograph with 70 hours of power reserve.
A function that lets you reset the timing with a single push, without separately stopping and zeroing it first — useful for back-to-back timing.
Both belong to the Offshore family, but the 26238ST is the chronograph variant, a direct heir to the 1993 design, while the Diver is built as a dedicated dive tool.
Yes, to 100 meters — enough for swimming and everyday sport use, though it isn't certified as a professional dive watch.
