Audemars Piguet Releases Michael Schumacher Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph

Audemars Piguet’s latest limited-edition Royal Oak watch — introduced this week at a press conference in Berlin — is a collaboration with legendary auto racer Michael Schumacher. The seven-time world champion was personally involved with the development of the model, which includes numerous car-inspired design elements.
The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Michael Schumacher has a 44-mm-diameter case which is available in titanium (1,000 pieces); 18k rose gold (500 pieces) and platinum 950 (pictured below, 100 pieces).

I like it a lot... Though with the Pt having a $100k or so price tag, I'll have to enjoy it from a far.

Those watches definitely do it for me. I love them. I'd love to get my hands on one of those bad boys. Just WOW!!!!! Thomas, how much is the Ti version??? I think I'd trade my 44mm for that one.

Never mind. I just looked up and saw the ti version is $42k which isn't that bad.....

The GP is amazing as well. Every time I see Rory in his RG GP I just want to mug him. LOL J/K. I never noticed the resemblance between the GP and the Michael Schumacher but they favor each other a lot IMHO.

The crown guards are made of sand blasted Ti.

Those stars are a little cheesy, but, to each their own. I suppose they have some sort of significance.

The stars symbolize Schumi's 7 world championships -- two with Benetton and five with Ferrari.

And yes, they're cheesy.

Adam
