AP ROO Color Series
Dear Volker
I saw your old post about this turquoise ROO color series. I’ve just picked up a purple one myself - had no idea these existed until recently. I’m trying to do a bit more research but can find almost no information about them.
All I know is that Philipps sold a red one in 2017 for about 23,750 Swiss francs and of course there were many colors (Apple green, orange, your gorgeous torquoise, brown/burgundy, purple, lime yellow, etc).
Do you have any information about these watches, or have you discovered anyone who does?
With kind regards.
Gordon
AP ROO 25770ST from 1998
Just bought this one. AP made a couple of fancy colored ROO back in 1997 and 1998 (dial with matching color leather strap) to celebrate the 25th birthday of RO. It had only one prior owner and was barely worn so I had to go for it. Fingers crossed that it...
I bet it works just fine.
I know a guy with a mid 90s steel Offshore that has been abused like no other. Really he should not even be allowed to own such a beautiful watch and treat it so poorly! But it has never been serviced, and last I heard about a year ago it was still trucki...
Nice catch Volker.
Those older colored Offshores are hard to find. You made a good choice. M4
Congrats!
I love these coloured ones and my more mainstream 25770 twins say hi. Both almost antiques and both running like a dream without any servicing. ...
Yes the Kevlar strap is very comfortable.
It wraps the wrist very well and adds to the classic utilitarian look.
1 owner?
Wow...I'm glad you got it! That's a rare bird that hasn't changed hands at all!
Thanks, I will ;-)
Its real color is actually a little bit darker and more intense. On the pictures, it looks like turquoise but it is rather mint green as AP called the color. The iPhone will not show that properly.
Yes, the color resembles the Rolex Daytona Beach edition.
But in turquoise or green, it's still a good acquisition and hard to find especially one that has not changed hands many times!
