MDT's recent acquisition of an Audemars Piguet Starwheel marks a distinctive entry into the brand, diverging from the more common octagonal references. This choice highlights the enduring appeal of horological innovation and the historical significance of the wandering hours complication. MDT's post sparks a discussion on personal preferences within the AP catalog and the unique allure of less conventional designs.

Gents - thanks for the recent various tips and suggestions. They were most appreciated. This is such a wonderful forum.

Just acquired my very first AP from my favorite dealer. Needless to say, I am most excited. I love the story and historic significance of the wandering hours.

Simple iphone photo today of the Starwheel.

Most everyone enters into AP with an octagonal piece - myself included, back in 2001. But this CODE 11.59 is simply exceptional, and I believe you made an outstanding choice!
