APROchrono shares the culmination of a long-standing horological desire, acquiring a highly coveted Audemars Piguet timepiece. His post captures the profound joy of finally owning a watch that resonated with him for years, highlighting the unique aesthetic and tactile qualities that make this reference so special. This article delves into his personal journey and the community's reflections on collecting during challenging times.

So this just happened...

...and I did feel super guilty about buying this when so many people are adversely affected with both their health and economically.  But I had a friend put my name down at an overseas AD a while ago and I got the call 2 weeks ago.

I knew I was in love with his watch when I first tried it on 3 years ago, so this is the culmination of a long love affair.  The shimmer of the dial, the silkiness of the bracelet, the thin svelte proportions. I now get what all you other owners meant!!

Hope these photos bring you a fraction of the joy that the watch is bringing me. And most importantly may you and yours stay safe in these trying times!
