I think ref 5167 may be too much...
In an era where odd shaped watches are very fashionable, there is definitely some appeal in the 5167. That being said, it is certainly an odd piece, and one that will liekly draw attention. I dont think it is necessarily a comfortable watch to wear either, since both sides of the two triangle will constantly be digging into the wrist (perhaps). It's more of a statement piece. A showstopper that gets people talking, but not necessarily for wearing, if you know what I mean.
Ref 5191 seems much more conventional; a fancy tank if you will. I can certainly see that being worn everyday. To me, this is a watch that is perhaps interesting enough for aficionados to all want to have a second look, and for non-aficionados to not give a strange stare.
Two AP 125th anniversary unique pieces
To celebrate its 125th Anniversary in 2000 , Audemars Piguet released a series of 125 unique pieces that would then embark on an international tour. Each unique piece was inspired by a specific era or design relevant to the watches Audemars Piguet had pro...
Definitely interesting. Personally appealing??....
I don't honestly know, my assumption would be that I'd likely prefer the triangular 59-60 piece unique, but with these kinds of watches you have to see it for yourself to truly make-up a firm opinion........ Thanks a lot for sharing with us here, cheers, ...
I fully relate to your thoughts and feelings, here!
These pieces gave me an opportunity to do a new quick dive in AP Chronicles: AP’s history and legacy is absolutely fascinating. Best, Emmanuel

I like your analysis: I agree with you on all counts.
The 5167 is more interesting to me, even if it is mostly a “showstopper”, as you rightly say. Best, Emmanuel
Two beautiful and interesting pieces, although the first one would be a bit of a scratch magnet.
They also look like they don't wear overly large.
Thank you, Michael!
These watches are “curiosities” of course, but nice ones! Best, Emmanuel
