Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26217ST US Boutique Edition Strap Guide
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26217ST, known as the US Boutique edition, is a 42mm stainless steel chronograph released around 2014 to 2015 as one of three case-material variants (alongside gold options) created exclusively for Audemars Piguet's United States boutique network. Finished with a white dial and orange accents, it was never sold through AP's standard retail channels outside the US, which keeps it comparatively scarce on the European and Asian secondary markets.

MIDAS straps are designed as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement, compatible with the factory end links, so there's no compromise swapping away from the factory strap.

About MIDAS
MIDAS was founded in London in 2019 with a simple goal: to create a better alternative to the OEM Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore strap. The factory strap is expensive, stiff and uncomfortable over time. For a watch as bold as the Royal Oak Offshore, we felt collectors deserved better.
We set out to create a premium aftermarket AP rubber strap that is more comfortable, more affordable and available in colours that do justice to the watch. Inspired by the world of performance cars, from Porsche GT racing to Ferrari, every MIDAS strap is designed to complement the bold character of the Royal Oak Offshore.

Trusted by Collectors
I have bought straps from another brand costing almost twice as much, but these are just as good, if not better. They are very comfortable, fit perfectly and are easy to swap. Highly recommended.
I first bought a black strap because the OEM rubber felt too stiff. MIDAS straps are much more comfortable, and I prefer the slimmer profile. I chose something bolder for my second purchase.
A great product and buying experience. My Diver had become a little boring, but this strap gave it a fresh look and much more wrist time. Fast shipping and excellent communication throughout.
I wanted a replacement after my OEM strap cracked. I did not expect an aftermarket AP rubber strap to feel this good. It is more flexible, grips well and matches the dial perfectly.
