Audemars Piguet

Keep it simple...

 

of the many design elements I have always loved about the Royal Oak and the chrono in particular,
is it's ultimate simplicity of design. The Offshore has not appealed to me as much mainly because of
it's larger size, but beautiful none the less. I find that for the most part the limited edition have not
been very interesting, except for the Barrichello 2 in rose gold, I kick myself for letting that one pass me by!

This new piece has the same bezel treatment as the Barrichello 2, that I love. Of course, I have not seen the entire
design, but the lower section of the case appears to be spoilers of some kind and accordingly, superfluous design
elements and nothing more.

The sections discreetly shown by Dr. Mao, cause the mind to think out of the box! Well done, Thomas!

The AP ROO bezel

Another awesome teaser. Can't wait for news from SIHH on this piece. I really like the design of the bezel. Is that a two piece forged carbon and titanium bezel? I love how the hex screws slots on the bezel are out in the open (instead of inside holes on ... 

Good to see that this looks to be the evolved DNA of the F1 inspired line...

.....though I PRAY that AP don't screw it up by making this another LE line. I'm really hoping that they have to sense to run the evolved F1 line alongside the original "classic" Offshore original line. -Sam

Cool picture

Nice Thomas...

not sure why they would use the carbon on the bezel again. It was a great move to use ceramic on the forged models after alinghi. Nevertheless the piece looks out of this world. Love that piece on the side of the case. I immediately think of an exhaust wh...
