MichaelC shares his initial impressions and stunning photographs of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra-Thin, a timepiece that has been a part of his collection for five months. He highlights the watch's spectacular nature and the challenge of capturing its elusive dark blue dial, promising a comprehensive review to follow.
The Royal Oak Extra-Thin, introduced 2 years ago at SIHH, has been in my collection for almost 5 months now. I am working on a full review of this watch for the forum. In the meantime, please enjoy a few new snaps of this spectacular timepiece by Audemars Piguet.
The dial color is difficult to capture on this watch. Definitely dark blue. I will be presenting the different appearances of the dial in my full review; it really depends on the light in which it is viewed.
I'm a fan of the venerable Caliber 2121's architecture.
And while the older style rotor was quite nice, I feel AP did a great revision to go with the new watch.
I'm surprised to see it in these photos which I just snapped. It looks brand new, despite being worn perhaps half the days since I acquired it.
I don't think I have ever referred to a watch as "perfect". And I might not with this one either, but it is likely as close to perfect as I have ever experienced.
More to come.
