Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Elephant Ref. 26470ST
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993, redefined luxury sports watchmaking with its bold 42 mm case and uncompromising design. Over two decades later, at SIHH 2014, Audemars Piguet unveiled the updated Offshore Chronograph 26470 collection, bringing refined details such as ceramic pushers, a sapphire caseback, and subtle aesthetic upgrades. Among the standout models is the Royal Oak Offshore “Elephant” (ref. 26470ST.OO.A104CR.01), instantly recognizable for its striking grey “Méga Tapisserie” dial with contrasting black subdials and a matching grey hornback alligator strap. The cool monochrome palette and textured materials earned it the nickname “Elephant,” a perfect reflection of its strength, presence, and timeless appeal. With the automatic calibre 3126/3840 inside and AP’s signature octagonal bezel up front, the Elephant is both a powerhouse of performance and a style statement for collectors who appreciate bold elegance.
Here, we have curated our favorite looks for this iconic watch that give different looks that pop and keep it classy in our signature style.

Special Edition for AP Elephant
Exotic Skin – Elephant Anthracite
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore ‘Elephant’ is best known for its OEM Grey Hornback strap, a bold choice that emphasizes the watch’s powerful identity. To complement this signature look, we have crafted The Beast Grey and Elephant Anthracite, inspired by the original straps of the Royal Oak Offshore collection. These creations deliver a sportier and more muscular style while remaining faithful to the essence of AP’s OEM design.

The Hornback is the ultimate pairing for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Elephant. Available in refined shades of grey, these straps replicate the original OEM look while enhancing the watch’s powerful identity. Known for both durability and luxury appeal, Hornback straps are the go-to choice for collectors who want to preserve the authentic character of their AP Elephant while enjoying long-lasting quality.
Ostrich Leg Leather
Ostrich Leg Collection – Ostrich Leg Nubuck Grey
Ostrich Leg Collection – Ostrich Leg Light Grey
For those looking to bring in a ‘pop’ of distinction, the Ostrich Leg strap is an exceptional choice. The unique texture of ostrich leg leather, with its prominent scales and natural variations, adds an intriguing visual dimension. This pairing is perfect for making a subtle statement while mixing things up over the more traditional textures, such as crocodile leather.
Epi Leather
The Audemars Piguet ROO Elephant is instantly recognizable for its bold grey tones and strong presence on the wrist. To further enhance this monochrome theme, we recommend pairing it with an Epi leather strap — a material celebrated for its refined texture, durability, and contemporary appeal. The subtle lines and elegant finish of Epi leather create a perfect harmony with the Elephant’s design, offering a sophisticated alternative that complements the watch’s powerful character while adding a modern twist.
Waterproof Canvas
Waterproof Canvas – Canvas Extreme Padded Dark Grey
To bring out this character in a fresh way, we created a unique Canvas strap design crafted exclusively in our workshop. Crafted with precise finishing and padded through the center, this strap brings a sporty edge while retaining an elegant profile on the wrist. Using high-quality waterproof canvas, it combines durability with refined style — making it a distinctive choice you won’t find from anywhere.
Denim Selvedge
Denim Selvedge – Denim Hurricane Grey
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Elephant is a watch that deserves equally distinctive pairings, and our Japanese Selvedge Denim strap delivers just that. Made from rare and exclusive denim sourced from Japan’s most prestigious and renowned mills, this strap is crafted in a signature style unique to our workshop — a design no other strapmaker offers. With its refined stitching and structured build, it adds a modern, casual-luxury twist to the Elephant’s bold grey aesthetic, creating a look that is both rare and unmistakably sophisticated.
French Leather
Our French Goat strap crafted from Alran Chevre Sully adds a refined balance to this bold design. Renowned as one of the finest goat leathers in the world, Alran Chevre Sully is prized for its natural grain, supple feel, and exceptional durability. Made in our signature style, this strap offers a lightweight yet luxurious alternative, enhancing the Elephant’s monochrome aesthetic with understated elegance that few materials can match.
Exotic Skin
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Elephant already carries a bold identity, and pairing it with exotic skin straps in Lizard or Python takes that character to the next level. Lizard leather, with its fine and intricate scales, brings a sleek and elegant texture, while Python offers a dramatic and untamed pattern that makes every strap truly one of a kind. Crafted in our signature style, these exotic skins transform the AP Elephant into a statement piece of both power and exclusivity — designed for collectors who demand something rare and unforgettable.
Signature Collection – Sporty Style
Sporty Style – Chessboard Grey
We set out to create something unconventional — a strap you would rarely see on a prestigious Audemars Piguet. Crafted from premium Italian pull-up leather and finished with a distinctive chessboard stamp, it combines a refined square pattern with meticulous attention to detail. This unique design introduces a fresh and unexpected character to your Royal Oak Offshore Elephant, giving it a bold new identity while preserving its elegance.
