GOD, this watch made me dream so much!
Was it in 2002? Wow, ten years, now!
But what a watch! From the material to the combination of complications and the look, all in this watch is unique.
This was the first one, the irremplaçable one...

Two Heavyweights, but which one is best...?
The Cabinet Piece 4 in platinum: Only 20 pieces manufactured with an inflated 'old school' case (without crown protection) combined with its wonderful old school movement finish blended perfectly with contemporary style:
Or, The Concept Thematic: Only 16 pieces manufactured (each one being unique) forgoing the quality 'old school' movement finish of the previous watch in favour of its more 'funky' approach to watch making courtesy of its state of the art material use of carbon and Alacrite.
Sorry about the dodgy iphone pics!

i love both
the cabinet 4 was rejuvinated (well to an extent ) when they introduced the ROO tourbillon RG 2010
but for me the concept 1 is king always specially the thematic
It's an interesting one isn't it?
There is little doubt that when pitted against the class of Modern classics, such as Lang or Patek, the Cab4 fares well where the CW1 flounders and Visa Versa with the CAB4 when compared to contemporary brands such as RM.
If they were cars? The CW1 would be a 599GTO where as the CAB4 would be a DB5 Vantage. Much though I want to say I would take the DB5 for it's class and kudos, the sad truth is I'd take the 599 for it's F.U. ness !!!!.......Both would be preferable however as watches are down to moods!!
Great pieces, do you....
Have a pic of the back engraving of the concept thematic?
Thanks
CP 4
I think it depends on how long you think you'll keep the piece, if it's just for a few years, then I'd do the concept RO, but if you want to keep it for a bit later in life, I think the Cabinet 4 will hold its appeal longer.
I would personally do the CP 4, the back fo the movement is quite nice, I especially like that its very traditional compared to the front and really makes it feel like two different watches.
I'm glad you have the great opportunity to make this type of choice,
Share more pix when you have it!

The Concept for me.

The Concept Thematic
Cann you post more Pictures of The Concept Thematic,
I think nicht, I have a identical one.
Thank you
The Concept Thematic for me without a doubt!
Dream piece and way ahead of itself when it was released.
If the 40th Anniversary RO Concept watch looked this futuristic back in 2012... IMAGINE what the 50th Anniversary RO Concept design will look like in 2022?!
I love how the Sapphire and bezel are concave on the CW1
I prefer this to the flat ones used on the current concept pieces. Here's hoping AP might bring back the concave designs in the future! So much sexier!
