oh well
I feel Mr. Gentas face reveals how he thinks the Royal Oak has developed. I may be the only one out here, but I think the Grand Prix is hideous, along with so many of the ROO LEs that have been generated recently. Feel free to flame away, but that is my honest view,
All the best, either way, Tim
Live Photos of a very special piece - AP Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph
PuristSPro's 2010 SIHH Live Reporting by Z3 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph in RG (...with Appearances by Two Very Special Guests!) This is the new high complication Offshore introduced this year. The piece is so popular that I c...

nice!
any idea what is the purpose, function of the 2 openings at 12h and 6h?? Thanks for the great report Karim
Great coverage.
I had the pleasure to also meet Mr. Martin Wehrli a few years ago, he seemed to be a very kind and sincere gentleman. He toured our group through the museum with great pride and unlimited knowledge of AP. I really like the fact that Mr. Genta still sports...
What a stupendous piece!
It looks much beefier indeed than the Survivor. This is a superior piece by all standards. Thanks for posting these pics!!!
Beautiful pictures
It must have been amazing to speak with Gerald Genta about this watch, and get his thoughts on how his designs have evolved. I love that Mr. Genta is wearing a Royal Oak. It's a wonderful design. For my taste, it is preferable to many of its modern brethr...
Thanks Daos. I agree it was an interesting experience.
The watch that Mr. Genta had one was very beautiful and timeless. It is a good example where "less is more"... I think also they certainly share the same root, it wouldn't be always "fair" to compare the modern offshores (especially the limited editions) ...
Such a great honor to meet them both...
Thanks for the continuing coverage z3. It must have been a great surprise to meet both Mr. Wehrli and Mr. Genta in a private environment to see the new ROO tourbillon chrono. Great pics, thanks for sharing. Regards, ED-209
Wow that must have been a very memorable experience!
I wonder what Mr Genta's feelings are about how the Royal Oak has evolved. Wonder if he's pleased, not so happy, or ambivalent. Cheers, Anthony
Both gentlemen were certainly amused and fascinated...
By the ROO novelties in recent years. Honestly, not sure if they liked them... Maybe the brand is getting too carried away "Offshore" from the traditional fine-watch making that AP is well-known for. Jon

No worries, all are allowed, even encouraged, to share their points of view.
As long as you don't try to present YOUR POV as THE ONE. This goes for both pro and con. And no, flames NOT allowed. So which is your favorite of the classics? Cheers, TM
