Audemars Piguet

After a few days on the wrist I’m still surprised by how much I enjoy this watch. The case details are never ending.

I encourage you - if your looking for an AP and don’t want to play the waitlist RO games give this a try! I can’t see my RO getting any wrist time for a while!

Quitting the brand to over the moon in like 2 months.  I really am happy it worked out for you.  I believe AP makes tremendous watches, and is repeatedly a trend setter copied by other brands.  Let's not forget, others in this community proclaimed AP should fire Francois Bennahmias because of this collection... that one is still the most laughable thing I have read in my 20 years here.  

To this day my CODE perpetual is the watch that brings me the biggest smile to my face and is the most worn in the collection. I kick myself for not taking the model you are wearing now!!! (Now the anticipation and wait will kill me).

Cheers and enjoy!!!

Not

I love this one. Glad you enjoy it so much!

Seems like AP continues to raise the bar on dial making every year. On all models.

I just realized that AP has exceeded my “lifetime to date” watch brand purchases, including Panerai and Rolex.

Incredible it started over 20 years ago with a pre-owned Beast and has evolved so much.

Next pieces have to be Tourbillon models…we shall see!

Cheers

Really like your choice .beautiful watch . If i would try to get one it will be this model



(Not sure who to credit for this pic )

Wearing it again today

Definitely a very cool and great color combo. Would love to try this watch on my wrist at some point .
Enjoy it to the max 👊🏻🤗

I'm strongly bonding with this gold / ceramic case CODE.

...but something just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe it's the slab-sided nature of the case...no tapering. I am a huge fan of two-tone so that's not it...I will have to see one in person.

May give the appearance of thicker but they wear well

but i’m still wondering what they were thinking when they designed the time only model. Too derivative and the date placement is simply awkward. Really cannot see a future classic here. 

Thanks for sharing g your thoughts ..

If I have an option, I'll asked for no date cut-out even with the function operating under the dial....hmmm, maybe brands can let customer customize?

Maybe I'm not up to date but when is VC having a new chrono movement?

In house chrono. The older one had the big date at 12

Why not?
Why not at 4:30?

I like creative solutions, so AP did a great job.
Anyway, i confess, i need no date on any watch. 😎

Yes, CC, you know you are not the only one.
Many watch fans complain about watches where the date window is on a different place than should be.

Like a car where the steering wheel placed at the roof.
Or a sunny island where the snow falls down or a restaurant where a bike is on the menu.
Pink car?

Other than date window, when a watch with day date, the day written in a different language than english and native language.
Saturday - Zaterdag. For me.
Samstag - Samedi - Sabato. Wrong.

Your bride shines like a star.

The royal oaks keeping the real pearls away from hungry eyes, so AP can invest in what is really important.
Make haute horology for enthusiasts.
Any exceptions could be tourbillon equipped models which are always for us, the connoisseurs.

Thanks for the photo!
