Created in tribute to the Alinghi Sailing Team’s remarkable victories in the America’s Cup, this limited-edition Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Polaris is a striking and functional regatta chronograph. Produced in only 1,935 examples, the reference 26040ST.00.D002CA.01 is powered by the automatic calibre 2326/2847 and offers both technical precision and bold visual identity.
Designed specifically for yacht racing, the watch includes a flyback chronograph, a regatta countdown timer, and three registers: a 20-minute counter at 9 o’clock, a 6-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a 60-second counter at 3 o’clock. A color-changing aperture beneath 12 o’clock alternates between red and black to track minute transitions. The rotating internal bezel—adjusted via the crown at 10 o’clock—features cardinal points and a reverse 60-minute scale, aiding navigation based on solar position.
Housed in a robust stainless steel case with a rubber strap and folding clasp, the watch is further distinguished by its compass-engraved case back, emphasizing its nautical purpose. With a 40-hour power reserve and unmistakable black and red dial accents, the Alinghi Polaris is a discontinued but highly sought-after model—an embodiment of Audemars Piguet’s fusion of avant-garde design and horological excellence.
Offered here in excellent condition and numbered 1155, this example represents a significant opportunity for collectors seeking a watch with both historical resonance and cutting-edge function.
