Beautiful AP RO QP!
It’s in absolutely flawless condition too. Amazing find you have! I found mine in Italy as well, it appears to mostly (exclusively?) have been retailed there. Mine has the reference 25820ST and is one of the later versions (with leap year indicator and slightly different indices). Immediately when I saw the silvered dial I knew that I wanted this special piece. It also has the sapphire caseback with the AP engraved rotor as seen on many other references from the same time period, early 2000s. Feel free to follow me on Instagram: @openworked
Long search finally successful
Many months ago I’ve met a collector friend from Italy for dinner. He wore a watch that I had never seen before but that impressed me immediately. I knew at that very moment that I wanted this model for my watch collection too. The hunt began and during t...
Congratulations are in order.

I wish AP’s modern RO PCs still had that perfect 39 mm diameter. Best, Volker

Actually, I found my watch in Germany, in my hometown from a guy living appr 500 meters away from my place. What a coincidence!
Your 25820ST is a stunner watch too. Much easier to handle in respect of setting the PC.
Congratulations!
The early series RO QP are still underrated. Such a great watch. The bezel looks very good. You can tell if the bezel has been overly polished or not because the hexagon screw housing should have a little gap from the edge of the top bezel view.
THIS is the way a dial should be laid out...
...note the type on the subdials...the letters and numbers do not change orientation. One of the cleanest dials ever produced...congrats.
Reference PT25686
Not sure it's the same base reference, but looks very similar if not identical to yours. keuchel-auktionen.de
I Would love to make that happen
I will write to you next time I am heading for Germany. Have a great weekend with your wonderful new watch. Best Christian

First time seeing this. It's very nice and the size is perfect too. Congrats! Ian
