$18,495.00

Watch Info

Manufacturer: Audemars Piguet

Model: Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph "Panda"

Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)

Reference: 26170ST.OO.D101CR.02

Year: 2011 (Warranty Papers dated 2011)

Box: No

Papers: Yes

Accessories: Watch and Papers Only. Includes the original Audemars Piguet warranty booklet/certificate dated 2011. Typically fitted on an AP Hornback alligator strap or an aftermarket rubber/steel bracelet (User to specify).

Notes: The 26170ST "Panda" is one of the most iconic and recognizable iterations of the 42mm Royal Oak Offshore. This reference represents the "Golden Era" of the Offshore, featuring the beloved Méga Tapisserie dial in silver with high-contrast black sub-dials and bold red accents on the tachymeter scale and chronograph hands. Unlike the newer 43mm or 44mm models, the 26170ST retains the classic "Themes" proportions that defined the brand’s dominance in the 2000s and early 2010s.

Condition Assessment

Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2011 example has been remarkably well-preserved. The case retains its aggressive, octagonal geometry with sharp transitions between the brushed and polished surfaces.

Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The "Panda" dial is pristine, with the black sub-dials providing a sharp contrast against the silver Méga Tapisserie pattern. The white gold Arabic numerals and hands are in perfect condition. The sapphire crystal is clear and free of scratches or chips.

Case & Bezel: The 42mm stainless steel case is in excellent shape. The iconic octagonal bezel—a magnet for "bezel bites"—is clean with minimal signs of wear. Note: The watch was recently serviced (early 2026) and is running beautifully to factory specifications. While no service paperwork is included, the mechanical health is evident in its amplitude and precise timekeeping.

Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: (Specific to the unit) Typically presented on a black Hornback alligator strap with a stainless steel AP folding clasp. The clasp remains secure and shows only light surface swirling.

Why the 26170ST Panda is a Heavyweight Essential

The "Panda" is the G-Wagon of the watch world—bold, over-engineered, and instantly recognizable. While the Royal Oak Offshore collection has expanded significantly, the 26170ST remains a favorite for purists because it utilizes the Calibre 3126/3840, a movement renowned for its robust construction and smooth pusher feel.

In the April 2026 market, the 26170ST has entered a "neo-vintage" phase, where collectors are specifically hunting for well-maintained examples of the original 42mm series. This 2011 example, while "Watch and Papers only," offers an excellent entry point into high-complication AP ownership. Because it has been recently serviced and is running perfectly, it eliminates the immediate $1,500–$2,000 service overhead typically associated with buying pre-owned Offshores from this era.
