Audemars Piguet's latest Royal Oak Offshore Watch (Alinghi Polaris chronograph) is an eye-catching work because, like many Audemars' recently released products, it has unique features: The regatta countdown mechanism is the company’s way of paying tribute to the American Cup winner Alinghi. It is sponsored. The watch is also equipped with a new movement. From the collector's point of view, it is more important that these items are produced entirely in-house and produced by one of the last independent watch companies in Switzerland.
