In the past, we've also featured a Porsche 911 Carrera S in the company of a Richard Mille RM015 Le Mans Classic here. This time, we bring you what we think is one of the best matches between a car and a watch, what we like to call a 'match made in heaven'. The Porsche 911 Carrera S a.k.a. 991 is one of those cars that exudes power whichever way you look at it and what better match to it than a discontinued Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubber Clad ref. 25940OK.OO.D002CA.02.
The Porsche 911 Carrera S 991 is an iconic sports car known for its timeless design and impressive performance. With a flat-six 3.8L engine capable of boasting 400hp at 7,400 rpm, the Carrera S can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The precise handling and responsive steering make every drive exhilarating, whether on winding roads or the racetrack. The luxurious interior features high-quality materials and advanced technology, ensuring both comfort and convenience for the driver and passengers. Overall, the Porsche 911 Carrera S is a thrilling combination of style, speed, and sophistication, making it a sought-after choice for automotive enthusiasts.
While the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubber Clad features an anthracite dial with 'Méga Tapisserie' pattern with Arabic numerals and pink gold Royal Oak hands, the Porsche 911 Carerra S is fitted with a platinum silver metallic exterior that compliments that dial just perfectly. The platinum silver color of the Porsche exudes a sense of sophistication and modernity. Its elegant hue shines under the sunlight, casting a sleek and luxurious aura that is unmistakably premium. The metallic finish adds a touch of refinement, setting it apart from the standard silver tones on the road. This specific shade of silver complements the curves and angles of the Porsche, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Whether cruising down the highway or parked curbside, the platinum silver Porsche effortlessly captivates the attention and admiration of onlookers.
As we take a look inside the Porsche 911 Carrera S, its sand beige leather and Alcantara interior compliment the 42 mm x 14.5 mm 18K rose gold case of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubber Clad ref. 25940OK. The interior of the Porsche 911 Carrera S in beige exudes a sense of timeless elegance.
The light beige leather upholstery complements the sleek lines of the cabin, creating a luxurious atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the interior, from the meticulously crafted dashboard to the premium materials used throughout. The ergonomic design of the seats ensures both comfort and support, making every drive a pleasure. The beige color scheme adds a touch of warmth to the interior, creating a welcoming and inviting space for both driver and passengers alike.
Furthermore, the tachometer on the Porsche 911 Carrera S comes in light grey reminiscent of the lighter grey colored dial on the first generation of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubber Clad in 18K rose gold. Could this match be more perfect?
While the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubber Clad ref. 25940OK is still not powered by an in-house chronograph, its automatic calibre 2326/2840 is still a very fine modular movement with a power reserve of 38 hours.
Meanwhile, under the rear hood of the 911 Carrera S, we have an in-house Stuttgart-made flat-six 3.8L engine capable of boasting 400hp at 7,400 rpm.
All in all, this is a match made in heaven and one that we didn't even know could exist until we got the car and watch together.
