The Metropolis for me!
Something was lost with the demise of the Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet and the 11:59 is no adequate compensation. Besides the Metropolis, I like the looks of the Edward Piguet and Jules Audemars chronographs, though would have been more impressed if, at their prices, they’d had integrated chrono movements. There were also a few extra-flat Jules Audemars that caught my eye over the years. Sadly, aside from the Metropolis, I’ve never had a chance to handle any of these.
(Funnily enough, the Royal Oak and its progeny have never done anything for me. I count myself as lucky on that point.)
Other than the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Off Shore, which is / are you favorite Audemars Piguet?
For me, clearly these: The Jules Audemars Metropolis: Millenary Starwheel: Code 11.59 Starwheel: Jules Audemars Hig Bat Chronometer: This John Shaeffer, if dreams are allowed.... You? Best, Nicolas ...
I would say that the Millenary Starwheel speaks most....
to my heart here, but the other ones are truly special pieces as well 😉👌🧡
I am a big fan of that Metropolis.
I own the WG version, but that PT version looks great too. Besides, I also love the Jules Audemars Grande Complications, like this: More details here: www.watchprosite.com ...
One I was able to try on a long time ago
I loved the design of the Metropolis too, but have never seen one in person. I miss the Jules Audemars aesthetic. A rounded case, well proportioned. ...
Wow just stunning
I love the contrasting movement with the blue accents and "silver" case (white gold, platium...can't tell...) gorgeous
This one still haunts me!
I can't remember the case material now, I believe white gold. It looks much better in person than stock photos, but very rare to see.
Shaeffer Starwheel Repeater!

Jules Audemars Grande Sonnerie
Although the minute hand is too short, the rest of the watch is excellent. ...
The John Shaeffer cases are masterpieces...
...if only they came in 'normal' watches. The Metropolis has an amazing dial...
So many amazing options ! Maybe too many to choose from lol
It is honestly incredible just how many more options there are once you go away from the royal oak and that is my fav part, the variety, if i had to pick one it would be either one of the grand complications mentioned here or this Edward Piguet Moss Agate...
Lots of common models!
This skeleton grand sonnerie is super special Huge fan of the John Schaeffer Starwheel MR In modern, Universelle is outstanding And finally my latest acquisition, the Jules Audemars Skeleton Jump Hour Minute Repeater! Lots more in the archives... Peter ...
Gorgeous selection and I was going to post that grand complication!!
It is a beast! I wish tho it had more artistry like engraving and etc.. but i guess they couldn't jam too much in there lol 😂

I have enjoyed watching the rpelies to this thread. I think we have many of the other great options included.
I have a personal love for the Millenary Maserati, and the Millenary Quadriennium.
