Help with AP ROO production date
September 08, 2011 02:32PM
A pre-owned watch store is selling me a used stainless Offshore chrono, blue face with stick dials and no papers, the serial number on the back is D97082. Is there anyone there who can tell me approximately what year this model is? He claims its 2006 but im thinking its older.....i tried searching the internet on how to check the production date but with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried contacting AP?

I can try to find out approximately the date but I'm not aware of any online database for Royal Oak Offshore serial numbers, unfortunately.

Anybody?

Well, unfortunately. . .

The official word from Audemars Piguet is that they can't date a watch from a part number --parts which are outsourced come in from suppliers in somewhat irregularly timed batches, so any given serial number doesn't necessarily reflect the date of production. The only way to get a production year officially from AP is to send the piece to Clearwater (if you're in the USA.) Sorry I can't be more helpful!

. . . AP Clearwater referenced in my last post is the service center for North America, so I'd assume you should be able to get the same info from AP Sing.

Cheers,
