SIHH 2010: my not so comprehensive AP report
Audemars-Piguet presented a lot of novelties during the SIHH.
I had an appointment with Helene from Audemars Piguet France on Tuesday but, hopefully for AP, I have never seen such activitiy in a booth. It was like being in a center of a whirlwind. Helene did her best to present me the novelties but sadly, I missed some.
Anyway, I would like to share with you the pics I took during our appointment. I came back two days later to shoot the RO Skeleton because I couldn't miss it. It is one of my fav novelties from the SIHH.
A big thank to Helene and to Juliane for their kindness and availability !
Let's browse the pics !

Part 1: ROO Grand Prix Collection
3 cases will be available: forged carbon, PG and platinum. Caliber is the 3126/3840. They all have a black ceramic bezel and a Mega Tapisserie motif on the dial. I couldn't shoot the Pt version. Fr.Xavier...
Thanks for the report. Quick Question...
Between the all carbon version and the Rg version, which one do you prefer in real life?
Part 2: Jules Audemars Automatic & QP
Let's go to a more classic style with the Jules Audemars Automatic and the QP. I'm happy to see the beautiful caliber AP2120 in this context which is perfect for it. The QP is available in PG with 2 dials, I really appreciate the silver dial one. Fr.Xavie...
Part 3: RO Equation of Time & Calendar (Day & Date)
Two nice RO with complications. My only concern is that the EOT loses its nice EOT hand and gets a more usual one. I live the "old style" of the Calendar one. Fr.Xavier...
Part 4: ROO Tour de France
Here are two ROO. The second one is a LE dedicated to the "Tour de France Automobile". Sadly, I don't remember the name of the first one also inspired by motor racing. Fr.Xavier...
Well, since it seems the Tour Auto (France) and National Classic (Belgium)
have been "released" (sort of) I guess the "cat's out of the bag." (actually, I think I understand the problem, and this might apply to the Pride of Argentina as well - since these are "event specific" or "region specific" pieces, they are not globally "l...
again i love
again i love these . to me they look more appealing than then grand prix....Thanks for posting. Faisal
Little boo boo on that Tour Auto...
Anyone else catch the problem with the prototype?
Well take a closer look at that bezel...
And by the way I love it too. While there is little brushed surface to it, if you look closely you will see that it is misaligned as mounted. The brush strokes in the metal are running from left to right instead of top to bottom as we are used to. What do...
thanks for the post!
my favorite is the RO skeleton also! WOW! unlike Oliver's wife, I think it's beautiful and "not bling."
Hello eloise!
Hello eloise! Happy to see you on the PPro AP forum! Hope you and your husband are doing well. The skeleton RO is cool, isn't it? -MW
Hi back!
We're doing well - thanks! There are too many temptations this year - and the RO skeleton is definitely one of my favorites! I do hope we'll see you again next time we're in CA.
AP's RO skeleton is very tempting!
Hello eloise! We're looking forward to your next visit to SoCal so please let us know when you do. Hope to see a AP RO skeleton on your wrist soon! -MW
Part 5: Millenary Quincy Jones and Chronograph
The Millenary becomes black with the Quincy Jones LE (500 watches). You will notice the piano key motif. The Chronograph is the second one of the Millenary collection and has a beautiful PG case. Fr.Xavier...
Part 6: RO Skeleton
We finish the report with my fav AP novelty: the RO Skeleton. Thanks a lot to Juliane who welcomed me for this shooting. SS or PG, both versions are very attractive. The skeletonized AP3120 is a true beauty. Fr.Xavier This message has been edited by fover...
FX, you captured the beauty ...
of the RO Skeleton very well. To see it (at least) on someones wrist is always a benefit. So far it is my favourite noveltie from AP, also I haven´t seen it in the metal. Will have to wait until they hit the AD´s. Showed the pictures to my wife, but she d...
Maybe....
you should bribe your wife with something that "blings" then she might change her mind... lol Cheers
Bling - would be a very bad idea ...
as she really doesn´t like it. Some AD´s tried it that way and failed
Thank you for the pictures and coverage!
You have presented gorgeous photos of some of the best offerings at SIHH this year. The RO Skeleton and Day/Date are stupendous. I look forward to learning more about them and seeing them in the metal. Cheers, Daos
Comprehensive enough...
... the "beast" Tourbillon chrono is missing. But the pics are gr8! Among all the pics of the Grand Prix Rg that were taken, only urs showed a detail i was waiting to see : A view of the watch that shows the thickness of the watch, but from the left part ...
