Audemars Piguet

Following up on my previous threads dedicated to Audemars Piguet Minute Repeaters , here are four other ones. You can hear these watches chime in the video below. Previous threads: Jules Audemars Supersonnerie & Grande Sonnerie More Audemars Piguet Minute...  

I think it's funny that if you asked most people that are even slightly into watches and you mentioned AP the vast majority would say they know of the Royal Oaks and possible now the Code 11:59 and have no idea as to why AP are part of the holy trinity or... 

I think that their catalog of previous pieces has some wonderful designs. I really wish they would stop issuing an RO in its 1,978th version and instead go back to the catalog and do an update and refresh of those pieces.

But AP has contributed to this situation, unfortunately. So the blame (if there's any blame to be had) is on them to. Best, Emmanuel

Good stuf. The AP minute repeater gold toned i seen you posting a couple of times. The crown gently sunk into the case, made in 37, sold in 57. Sorry for the stainless steel AP’s or white golden?, squared shape. I wil be back to view the video later these... 

have a nice weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Dear Emmanuel, i am in a gold mood. Age. Bronze, gold plated, my eyes like it. Why stainless steel, silver and that kind of colors are this moment on a break, i wil see if this is because i am 50. The 50ties, it is rocking 🎸

it's tradition and timelessness for me.

Very interesting indeed - didn’t know that the Shaeffer ’line’ was that old 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any other information or pictures (also from the movement) Thx for your fantastic work over the last months! Dirk

But I could choose the ladies' watch over the Shaeffer (not fond of these Letter indexes)...

...the first two are especially stunning...

And the square one. But the John Shaeffer letter markers aren't my cup of tea. Best, Emmanuel

...but i'd like to see it as a normal watch as I love the case shape...

I could dislike them in another context, but here they look perfect.

And, unfortunately, I think you're right: almost nobody would be interested in such a piece. Anyway, it belongs to AP's archives now... Best, Emmanuel
