Audemars Piguet Unworn 2023 Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Ceramic 26238CE

The 26238CE stands out for its full black ceramic case, bold design, and technical precision. It brings a rugged, high-performance twist to the Royal Oak lineage, with a 43mm size, skeletonized dial, and ceramic construction that’s both lightweight and virtually scratch-proof. This model merges sports engineering with luxury watchmaking for a striking, modern chronograph.

Ceramic is prized for being exceptionally hard, lightweight, and scratch-resistant, offering long-term durability and a modern, stealthy matte finish. Unlike metal, ceramic retains its appearance over time and is also hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for all-day wear. In this model, it elevates the aggressive aesthetic of the Offshore line while keeping the watch surprisingly light on the wrist.

This chronograph is powered by the self-winding Caliber 4404, a flyback chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch, offering precise timing functionality and a 70-hour power reserve. It allows you to reset and restart the chronograph with a single press—ideal for timing laps or intervals without stopping the mechanism.

While 43mm sounds bold, the ergonomic design and lightweight ceramic construction make the 26238CE surprisingly comfortable. The slightly curved case and integrated strap system ensure a snug fit, even for medium wrist sizes. It’s a statement piece, yes—but one that’s engineered for real-world wear, not just display.

An unworn 2023 Royal Oak Offshore 26238CE comes in mint, untouched condition, with original factory finishing, full box and papers, and the latest model year updates. For collectors, unworn pieces offer maximum resale potential, and for wearers, they guarantee fresh-from-the-boutique quality—no scratches, no wear, no compromises.
