And so finally after 15 months of waiting my custom creation has finally arrived. Based broadly on the Ali Bin Ali edition, this brings a platinum case, midnight blue subdials and tachymetre ring, hollowed lugs, red Chrono hands, and all brass parts from the movement replaced. Rose gold skeletonisation has been seen on other models. Full alcantara strap and redesigned deployant (smaller than the one on my 26388). Oh and a nice engraving! Enjoy! My profuse thanks to the AP team for the absolute pleasure of being able to design my own piece and for the flawless execution. Also the wonderful small party they hosted for me and a group of friends for the handover was fabulous. AP are simply the best at really looking after their customers.

Probably my end game on my watch collecting journey.

The platinum case combined with rose gold bridges makes the watch a significantly heavy piece, adding to its luxurious feel.

While acknowledging the watch's special nature, some contributors noted that the specific color combinations chosen might not be their personal preference.
