Who & what: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 'Vampire' Stainless Steel 42mm – Reference 26470ST.OO.A101CR.01

Jake Paul was photographed at what appears to be a luxury car dealership, stepping past a red Ferrari in a yellow Balenciaga tee and black shorts, a black crossbody bag completing the streetwear look. On his wrist, clearly visible, sits the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 'Vampire' in stainless steel — a watch whose nickname alone commands attention in collector circles.

The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph reference 26470ST.OO.A101CR.01 measures 42mm in steel and houses the in-house calibre 3126/3840, a self-winding integrated movement beating at 21,600 vph with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism and a 50-hour power reserve. The black dial is punctuated by white Arabic numerals, three subdials for running seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, and — crucially — red accents on the seconds hand and dial details that inspired the 'Vampire' moniker. The black alligator strap with red stitching seals the identity.

The 'Vampire' sits within the broader 26470ST family, which replaced the older 42mm ROO references around 2012 and represented AP's effort to refine the Offshore's proportions after the oversized era of the mid-2000s. Among collectors, the nickname variants — Vampire, Panda, Survivor — carry genuine cachet, functioning as shorthand for a specific configuration that enthusiasts actively seek over generic references. The red-on-black combination is one of the more restrained yet distinctive executions in the Offshore lineup.

Jake Paul, who has parlayed YouTube fame into a legitimate professional boxing career, has built a watch collection that skews toward high-visibility luxury — AP, Patek Philippe, and Jacob & Co have all appeared on his wrist. The Vampire fits his aesthetic: recognizable to insiders, visually bold without being gaudy, and firmly in six-figure territory.

At retail, the reference sits around $29,500 USD, though grey-market premiums on desirable AP steel references have kept secondary prices elevated. Current grey-market values for the 26470ST Vampire hover between $38,000 and $45,000 depending on condition and completeness, reflecting persistent demand for steel Offshore chronographs in named configurations.
