Audemars Piguet

Friends, I am very excited to have permission to share the first new SIHH 2017 model from Audemars Piguet, the yellow gold Extra-Thin! As we know, Audemars Piguet has placed a renewed emphasis on the use of yellow gold in its collections. And now, 40 year...  

In gold it looks sweet. Thanks for sharing Bill

Blue on gold, always a winner. But the vintage-champagne is intriguing...

Hopefully we will get something new. RO or Nautilus: in my mind changing from steel to gold when a sport watch is concerned, means always downgrading. On a sports watch steel is a superior material compared to gold and platinum. Best Kari

Lots more to come from AP. As we consider this precious metal 15202, I am struck with the idea that this dial would look good in any case material. But like you, I prefer sports watches in steel, or titanium. I consider the 15202 a very refined sports wat... 

but the blue dial looks really nice and the finish is amazing in the photo. My concern remains how easily it will get scratched and dented. I don't think I will be able to wear it with confidence, even if I could afford it.

I believe it will wear just fine

But, of course, when you have a such iconic and bestseller timepiece creativity is, may be, limited and difficult to manage. Best wishes Alkiro

The 15202 reference is produced in very low quantities. For those who like the yellow gold, I feel it is a great option to have. Thanks for your input Alkiro.

Tantalum has been used here and there. Imagine an LE version in full tantalum case and bracelet... it would be an instant sellout. I credit AP to resist the urge.

As in, good for AP for not pimping out this reference with countless material and dial choices. Now, I think this reference is perfect for an LE run - and think of how we mostly dislike limited editions. A 500 piece run of an all tantalum version? I would...

As long as I could reserve it ;-)

To each his own!

The detailing looks very nice too. I'm not really a fan of yellow gold but the blue dial contrasts well, not that the champagne dial is any less. Would love to see it in the metal!

I like the offering.

I tend to prefer rose / pink gold to yellow gold in most cases, but on this venerable timepiece, I love the YG.

With a green dial? Looks great but I still prefer the rg version. JerryW

with that green dial. Hour Glass, if I recall.

I think it looks great esp with the blue dial!

I am excited to see both dial colors in person against the YG cases.

stuck to the DNA. Any tweaking here/there (balance, screws, decoration, rotor, bracelet) wud have meant a tougher decision making.

This new offering is very classy.

Personally i prefer the old school golden dial over the usually popular blue this time..... Because we are too used to seeing Royal Oak jumbo with blue dial over the years, let that be stainless steel or rose gold..... just my opinion.... no offence...

Maybe most will disagree, but we should respect your opinion. I happen to agree with you here. At least, I would like to see both side by side to give a preference.

Personally i believe that watch collection should have "genetic diversity". I understand that Ultra thin is Ultra thin, we cannot change its design nor movement, otherwise it is not the Spiritual successor to the original 5402a , however, a clever mix and...
