Thanks very much Michael...
Thanks for taking the time to post these excellent pics. The 39mm Jules Audemars selfwinding dial is absolutely hypnotic. I bet it's mesmerising in the flesh. The Offshore calendar's are just... well, glorious. AP are getting better & better at dial layout's. But I wonder how the bezel on the gold version came to be scratched?
Thanks again.
SIHH2013: Audemars Piguet at a glance
Here is a quick summary of the new watches presented this week in Geneva by Audemars Piguet. Beginning in a few days, we will be exploring in much more detail not only the following watches, but also the current state of affairs at AP. The brand has been ...
Thanks for the report, Michael. And for the visit at the AP booth.
I was very happy to see you there, my fruend, and can't wait to read your detailed reviews. Best, Nicolas
Likewise Nicolas, a real pleasure.
I am looking forward to the detailed examinations on JLC, as well!
any pics of the clear caseback of the new Diver?
Thanks for the pics from SIHH, look forward to more! -MW
Yes Sir. Pretty standard arrangement.
I'll have more on this topic in the upcoming detailed review. ...
Thanks Michael!!
I find it strange and a little telling that a couple of big brands have chosen to focus on women's collection. Not that there's anything wrong with that. A quick look at VC's offerings and you'll get the same impression. Also, the diamond encrusted Surviv...
The diamond piece is not a Survivor...
But a T3 model. I'll have more on this watch in the coming weeks. I will also address your comment on the attention to women's watches, which is a big part of AP's strategy.
Thanks very much Michael...

I've realised since buying my rgrc just how easily the gold can scratch
A gold bezel isn't particularly practical for people who enjoy wearing their watches and if the bezel can only be re finished 3 times it could be very costly.
In person it was one of my favorites!
You can tell a lot of work went into AP's new women's collection. I also like the tweaks to the dials of the Offshore Perpetual Calendars. Many of the pieces we handled were prototypes and not actual pieces that will get delivered to end clients. The watc...
The Platinum Grande Complication to me..
Was the highlight of the AP stand. I thought the piece was perfectly balanced and a really great addition to the range. The diver was cool with the orange parts, but found that turning it over was a bit disappointing with the small movement with not great...
The finishing of the Calibre 3120 is typically outstanding.
I have handled numerous samples in the past and never noticed any imperfections or lack of quality on the finishing. I blame Oren for us not meeting Andrew, 100%. I wish I had your cell number, I certainly would have called. Next time for sure.
I blame him too ;-)
Trying to keep me away from the competition! Will organise ourselves better next time for sure. Was even wearing my QP in honour of hopefully seeing you! I was honestly surprised, I normally take pictures but didn't as close up it did not look great and t...
The new Diver continues to grow on me . . .
I am really excited about AP's move to straight ceramic materials and have to say that it works really well on the new Diver. The orange accents against the deep black ceramic bezel/case/dial is eye-catching in a very positive way. Also, the price point I...
Indeed Dan, me too.
When I first saw it in the case I thought it was beautiful, but when I strapped it to my wrist I thought "I want this". The ceramic finishing is amazing. The buckle is a titanium pin buckle, not blackened as I recall.
