Overview:
Step into the Collector’s Corner and discover an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the rarest Audemars Piguet creations ever produced: the Royal Oak Offshore “Rare Beast”, Ref. 25721SA.OO.1000ST.01.

This landmark model marks the debut of the first-ever two-tone Royal Oak Offshore, introduced in 1995 and produced in a highly limited run of just 64 pieces between 1995 and 1999. What makes this particular watch even more exceptional is its early D-serial designation (#24)—part of the inaugural batch sold in 1995, of which only 28 were delivered that year.

But rarity is only the beginning. This is one of just two known examples to have survived with a full original set, and the only one known worldwide to include the original box, papers, and production-year documentation—a truly museum-worthy configuration.

In contrast to traditional “SA” Royal Oak models, which typically include yellow gold throughout the case and bracelet, this version stands apart. It features a solid 18k yellow gold bezel atop a stainless steel case and bracelet, paired with steel screws and white gold hands and hour markers—a highly unusual and unique execution that breaks from AP convention and adds to its legend.

Key Features:
• Case Size: 42mm
• Reference Number: 25721SA.OO.1000ST.01
• Serial: Early D-Series (#24 of 64 made)
• Year: 1995 (First Year of Production)
• Material: Stainless Steel Case & Bracelet, Solid 18k Yellow Gold Bezel
• Dial: Original Blue with White Gold Hands and Indices
• Movement: Automatic Chronograph
• Bracelet: Stainless Steel – AP Integrated Design
• Ultra Rare: Only 64 Ever Made. This is the only known available with a Complete Set

Condition:
Exceptional vintage condition, especially for a watch of this rarity and age. The original blue dial is beautifully preserved, and the yellow gold bezel retains its sharp definition with only minimal signs of wear. The stainless steel case and bracelet display light handling marks consistent with age but remain clean and well-maintained. No major dings or dents are present on the case or crystal—only very minor marks/dings from careful use.

Please refer to the macro photos for a detailed and accurate representation of the watch’s condition and all included items.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the serious collector.
The “Rare Beast” 25721SA is not just a piece of Audemars Piguet history—it is the origin of the two-tone Royal Oak Offshore lineage, a model that broke the rules at launch and helped define the modern era of AP's boldest designs. With its unusual material combination, limited production, and historic serial, this timepiece is a cornerstone addition to any world-class collection.
