Antoine Chevanne remembers: “The cooperation began two years ago when I met with François-Henry at the Audemars Piguet manufacture in Le Brassus. I presented the Byblos Exclusive Series' concept to him and he immediately loved it before deciding to rename it B.A.P’ (pronounced Be Happy) for BYBLOS - Audemars – Piguet’.

8 May 2017, Le Brassus – On May 26th, Audemars Piguet will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Le Byblos Saint-Tropez with two new and exclusive timepieces. For the first time in the history of the brand, the Swiss watchmaker has created a limited edition model dedicated to the Byblos hotel, tailoring its bold and audacious Royal Oak Offshore design to the equally legendary French institution aesthetic codes.

Created in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore is one of the very first oversized wristwatches to have taken the market by storm and since then the collection keeps defying conventions thanks to its sportier and more powerful take on its older sister the Royal Oak.
