Audemars Piguet

2 AP ROs marked special occasions for me - the 16202ST and 15202IP - different context, both serendipitous and all happy. Both are very different watch in terms of materials, dial colors and certainly the movements. The old JLC Cal 2121 , while quirky, wa...  

a significant number of distinctions (as you pointed out) really make these wonderfully complementary. Thanks for sharing.

The IP is spectacular! I thought having a mirrored bezel would be less harmonious but I think it goes very well with the aesthetic and dial. This is another reason why I am really curious about how the 16202XT Red Dial will look like on the wrist... Cheer... 

For sure the XT’s bezel does not scratch as easily as the IP - mine has tons of micro scratches because its platinum. And of course, AP does fume really well. The XT will be stunning on the wrist.

I tried to buy an IP when it launched but missed out on that one. It's a fantastic Jumbo variation!

I was indeed very lucky with the IP.

I would be more than happy with only one of them 😜

You never know, but I see it as a mid term goal. In the short term I have another couple of "more urgent" objectives 😉

The old caliber is a pain in date adjustments and that’s the charm. Now a relic of days past.

photo shows an amazing blue dial 👍

AP does fume very well and on the petite tapisserie, the deep blue to black is accentuated. 🥂🥂🥂

They are so different yet so very alike. One is lucky to have one but to have both is incredible! Stunning pieces! Hope to see more of them!
