Audemars Piguet

Back to AP...

 

After a year taking a break from AP - I've been fortunate enough to return back to the AP world after dabbling with a few brands. Ever since this piece came out I was enamoured with it - representing a bit more the avant garde and audacity that AP has been known for.

So far initial impressions have been pretty special - shinier than I expected, lighter than I expected, and darker than I expected - but all in all great impressions to date. My one request would have been to change that "week of the year" hand to a second hand but it's still an interesting complication. I also like that one of the pushers will activate the entire mechanism in case your watch stops more than a cycle, making adjustments easier after initial setup.

If anything - looking forward to hearing from other owners on their thoughts and feedback. Plan is to make this the primary watch and see how it plays out!

Cheers

Peter

Thanks for the comment - as a fellow Patek collector I think there was something special about going somewhere outside of another Patek aquanaut or nautilus to fill the sporty watch collection for now. That being said, if Patek came with a ceramic anythin... 

I agree...but I would probably have to buy all the

The black ceramic perpetual calendar has really grown on me. It's an impressive looking piece with a visually gorgeous and durability-proven movement Big congratulations! M4

Many thanks!

It also took me some time to make the jump, but after seeing some of the new releases from AP and others this one stood out. My hope still one day is that they make one of he iconic models in grey ceramic! Peter

Thanks!

Considered to get the model with PG but preferred to go more understated - for now (I didn’t think I could pull the pink gold off) but Who knows in the future what the addiction will bring Cheers Peter

I’ve been in love with that watch ever since it came out and was never fortunate enough to purchase one yet alone see one.

So congratulations on your awesome score!!! What I’ve been curious about is the appearance.... you mentioned it’s shiny? In a good or bad way? As much as I love the thought of black watches I’ve discovered the color is not very flattering in most cases. W...  

It's pretty cool and has been a grail...

I think the way I describe the metal is that it has an exquisite polish grain which ensures every link every angle every facet shimmers in a unique way, not like other ceramic watches which tend to have a more homogenous shine to it. AP really has done a ...
