Authentic Framed 2003 Vintage Print Ad Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “Challenging Times”

Museum framed authentic (no-reprint) Audemars Piguet advertisement from 2003, commemorating the brand’s sponsorship of the 31st America’s Cup one of the most prestigious sailing competitions in the world. The ad features a stunning aerial shot of two sleek racing yachts in full sail, symbolizing precision, power, and competition on the open sea.

At the forefront is the bold and iconic Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in yellow gold, known for its octagonal bezel, exposed screws, and robust yet elegant design. The tagline “Challenging Times” plays on both the technical performance of timekeeping in high-pressure sports and the symbolic challenges of excellence, innovation, and elite competition.

This ad celebrates Audemars Piguet’s deep ties to high-performance sports and its longstanding heritage of horological mastery since 1875. It is part of a limited run of sport-focused campaigns AP produced in the early 2000s and is increasingly rare, especially in framed, collector-ready condition.

Framed at 30 x 40 cm using AR70 museum-quality glass, the print is protected with 70% UV filtering and only 1% light reflection offering crystal-clear presentation and long-term preservation.
