Most Iconic Royal Oak Offshore

Hi guys,

I want to hear from you what is, in your opinion, the most iconic ROO.

Would it be the first one, ref. 25721 ST, aka "the beast"? Or maybe the Rubberclad?

And among the Limited Editions? Would it be the End of Days, the Rubens Barrichello, the Schumacher?

In my humble opinion, i think the End of Days is the one.

Thanks.

I think it's the rubberclad for me, and the RGRC was the first pure wow watch I ever saw.

The Rubberclad has AP DNA all over it!

I've owned and flipped at least a dozen 42mm ROOs, but the 2 references that always stay in the fold for me are the 25940sk and 26202au.

depends how you define iconic. if you mean kinda like representing the gist of the design of the watch i'd go for:

1. the beast
2. rubberclad steel
3. black dial diver
4. maybe the 44mm novelty rosegold

If you say iconic it has to be the beast. If we are talking about the most recognisable offshore 42 I would say the rubberclad.

That’s an awesome piece. Out of interest, how much wrist time does it get?
