Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm measures 54.1 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.29 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 98% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 87% of the 68 Audemars Piguet watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 61 mm (2.40 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 73 mm (2.87 in) it starts to look compact. Below 54.1 mm (2.13 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
