The guillochage is really nice in the context of this timepiece as it takes a large part of the dial and it really get the light and offers superb reflects
RO and ROO are definitely the true best sellers of AP (may be 80% of sales or more). But they’re the “gilded cage” of this brand, in my opinion, and it’s probably really difficult for the management to launch new models (Millenary 4101 for instance even if it’s a very cool watch I owned) as for most of customers and prospects AP = RO
But here, integrate this cool complication in a Royal Oak could appear innovative and would offer something really different for me.

Always a true pleasure to put my Star Wheel back on my wrist
Wandering hours are such a cool way to display the time. Slow mouvement (no second here) but truly poetic. Invented three centuries ago, they’re still really modern for me (think about Urwerk). If at least AP could make a RO with this complication 🙏 After...
Guillochage is not so bad
This is AP, but today both management and customers are RO focused (or dazzled?).

I agree 100%
AP owns R&P, but surprisingly they seem not interested in exploiting his talent. However, it will take 10 minutes to put a caliber inside a RO a make a dial. Let's see what's going on, i'd rather see millions of times a RO star wheel than a RO in frosted ...
They could be easily complementary in my opinion as they’re really different even if they share the same complication
I was close to buy the steel version two years ago but without original B&P I preferred to go on my way. I’m still keeping it at the back of my mind. If an opportunity occurs one day, I’ll seize it for sure. I owned a Millenary 4101 few years ago but I so...
And with colour experimentation?
Great shot - and watch! Have a great remaining weekend
A great watch Alkiro.
Like so many others in your wonderful collection 😉 Wear them all in good health, and please share more pictures of this rarely seen marvel..! All the best, Niall
Many thanks Niall for your kind words
I will take more shots of it soon. Like the Breguet la Tradition, the Star Wheel is perfect with autumn colours 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
