Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
With SIHH nearing fast, I wonder what AP will bring this year along with the new collection. I hope we see some really new mechanisms within the Royal Oak design. Something new please! What would others like to see from AP?
May be, after so long time, they make a own chrono-automatic-caliber, not always this Dubois-Debraz-modul with the deep date hole.
They can do everthing, they make minute repeaters, tourbillon, calendar perpetual, sunrise-sunset, equitation, but they dont make a own chrono for the Royal Oak. I can not understand this, the R.O. is the only watch what they can sell. A new line? Better ...
A new sports model with a ground breaking design
not the usual evolution of some existing design.
Pentagram shaped bezel, non-integrated bracelet, no screws visible anywhere, markers and hands guilloched on a smooth dial. [nt]
Minute repeater version doesn't chime but speaks the time in English with a heavy Swiss-French accent.
Fun to dream.
I tend to expect any new "mechanism" watch starts at a 300 / 400 / 500k price tag. I still enjoy seeing them, but it does not make or break my interest in the brand. Since we know 2019 is their last SIHH, will they "go out with a bang", or sit on any real...
Hi Michael..
I totally agree with your thoughts that they will delay any meaningful new product.
Right, they will want to roll out their new model of product revelation with as much of a bang as possible.
SIHH 2019 will have some new dial colors on old models, wow! Maybe a new dial pattern, if we are good boys and girls. If they do more purple dials, I'll be stoked.
