Classic Royal Oak Collection Refreshed and Upgraded

New Royal Oak Offshore Ceramic Designs
In 2025, the Royal Oak Offshore collection adds two new ceramic models, one in classic black and one in a unique green-and-black colorway. Featuring the brand’s signature large case and round chronograph pushers, they evoke the style of the original 1993 model while also offering a modern, sporty aesthetic.
A Refined Evolution of the Code 11.59 Collection
With a modern aesthetic as its foundation, the Code 11.59 collection introduces five new models in 2025, ranging from minimalist to complex.
- These include white gold and aventurine gold cases paired with polished, textured dials, featuring a soft, blue-grey hue.

A Perfect Blend of Technology and Design
The 2025 new products feature numerous innovative technologies:
