Description
The deep blue dial on this replica Royal-Oak-Offshore 26238ST 44mm delivers one of the more refined color options in the current Offshore chronograph range. Reference 26238ST.OO.2000ST.01 pairs that blue dial with an all-steel case and integrated steel bracelet, moving away from the rubber and leather straps that define many other Offshore models. Audemars Piguet introduced the 26238ST as a successor to the 26470ST, updating the case shape with softer transitions between brushed and polished surfaces. At 44mm it maintains the commanding Offshore presence while the integrated bracelet gives it a more cohesive wrist profile.
Technical Overview

- Bracelet: integrated stainless steel with AP folding clasp

The integrated bracelet is a significant shift for the Offshore chronograph line. Previous generations relied on straps to break up the visual mass of a 44mm case, but the 26238ST proves that bracelet integration works at this scale.
Inside the Movement
An automatic chronograph caliber powers the three-register layout with running seconds at 6, chronograph minutes at 9, and hours at 3. The blue dial uses a sunburst finish that shifts between navy and lighter blue depending on the angle, adding visual depth that flat-color dials cannot achieve. For a different aesthetic within the same family, compare this against the Forest Green 6405CE which uses ceramic instead of steel. Both are part of the Offshore collection but represent different generations of design language.
What Sets It Apart
The 26238ST is the first Offshore chronograph to combine a colored dial with an integrated steel bracelet in regular production. That combination had previously been reserved for the standard 41mm Royal Oak. The deep blue color avoids the casual feel of green or orange options while adding more personality than plain black or silver. This replica Royal-Oak-Offshore 26238ST 44mm bracelet version marks a meaningful evolution in how AP approaches the Offshore formula.
