Audemars Piguet Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42 mm 26170STP3 Steel White Audemars Piguet Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42 mm…

The Audemars Piguet 26170ST.OO.D101CR.02 is the stainless steel Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in 42 mm with the "Panda" dial: white Méga Tapisserie with three black counters, black Arabic numerals and red accents, on a black alligator strap with a folding buckle. It runs on the self-winding calibre 3126/3840 and is listed from $19,883.

What sets the 26170ST "Panda" apart

• The Panda dial. Collectors call a light dial with dark counters a Panda. Here the white dial carries three black chronograph counters, black Arabic numerals, a red chronograph seconds hand and a tachymeter scale on the flange, with the date at 3 o'clock. The 26170ST.OO.D101CR.01 is the same watch with dial 01, black with orange accents.
• The case. 42 mm stainless steel with the octagonal bezel and its eight hexagonal screws, rubber-coated crown and pushers, and water resistance to 100 m. The first Offshore set these proportions in 1993, when the largest Royal Oak measured 36 mm.
• Calibre 3126/3840. The 26170 succeeded the 25721, the first Royal Oak Offshore, and replaced its Jaeger-LeCoultre-based movement with calibre 3126/3840: a self-winding base movement developed and made by Audemars Piguet, with a chronograph module by Dubois-Dépraz. It measures 29.9 mm by 7.16 mm and has a 50-hour power reserve.
• Its place in the line. In 2014 the 26470 replaced the 42 mm Offshore chronographs. Audemars Piguet no longer lists the 26170 on its website, so it is bought on the secondary market.

Checks before you pay the balance

• The case number. Audemars Piguet engraves a case number and a movement number on each watch and records both in its registers; ask for the case number with the watch-specific photos.
• Dial and hands. Ask for daylight photos of the white dial, the black counters and the red chronograph hand, where marks or discolouration show.
• Crown and pushers. On the 26170 they are rubber-coated metal; check the coating in the photos and ask whether they were replaced at a service.
• Strap and buckle. The reference specifies an alligator strap with a folding buckle; ask whether the strap and buckle fitted are Audemars Piguet's.
• Box and papers. Ask which box, papers and service records come with the watch offered.
