Just some googling and found this which was posted back in January(!):

26579CB.OO.1225CB.01(白陶瓷，41毫米)：參考價NTD 3,002,000
26585CE.OO.1225CE.01(黑陶瓷，41毫米)：參考價CHF 130,000
26586IP.OO.1240IP.01(鉑金，41毫米)：參考價CHF 140,000

130K CHF for a ceramic OW is just nuts - AP taking advantage of the demand.

According to my source OW CE PC is limited to 50 pieces. Maybe the reason why u think it is expensive. Not sure whether RD2 IP will be limited number or not. Someone who know more please comment.

Don't care for the white ceramic perpetual but would love either of the other two, though I don't think I'll have any chance to get them -- I'm still working on getting the "old" ceramic perpetual. Is that expected to be discontinued?

[kingofthehill]

During the following (interesting) January 2019 interview with Hodinkee, Audemars Piguet's CEO François-Henry Bennahmias mentioned that the #RD2 would be released as a 100 piece production run in 2019 in IP form.

Pricing doesn't make any sense. How could they justify the black Ceramic Openworked to be priced at that kind of level? That is even more than the current Ceramic PC.

In steel the opposite is true : the PC is more expensive than the Openworked.

[APAP]

neogump suggests it’s an OW Ceramic PC. That would be one hell of a watch.

Ok that explains it. But I would rather have a OW CE. The a PC the subdials would cover parts of the OW and kill the look for me.

Holy hell OW ce perpetual would be tits

white ceramic is a dream watch. extraordinary. 115k looks good i'd say next to the Bubba (and what else is available if you want a white ceramic high luxury watch?)

Yeah very interesting to see how they are appreciated in second hand market 15707CB and 26402CB has huge premium over retail while their black counter party don't do as good.

for me the bracelet in ceramic is important too as opposed to rubber but besides that i love the white ap diver and you're right.

Not sure how they can charge so much for the IP version of the RD2?

Sure its limited to 100 pieces but I assume the movement in time will filter down and will replace all their PC range? So then the IP will just be a regular movement watch I guess.

Exactly what I guess too，existing 5134 almost release all possible varients like last gen 25820-25829 series. Then Cal 5133 based PC could replace whole PC line and start all material over again Like ST CE etc.. in next several years slowly.
Financially it doesn't make sense AP develop something serious in five years but only applies them in 100 pieces. If my guess is true. Then we could just wait until SS version come.
Who knows，JMO.

Agree. SS is just a matter of time. Probably in 5 years haha

It's up on the AP website now. Price is $93,900. Wonder if these will be tough to get ahold of? I'm guessing they will initially due to speculation, but I also don't think that this combo will have that widespread of appeal.

[tubojunk]

I am sure they will be hard to get a hold of, I am guessing if you haven’t been asked about it yet you probably can’t get it :)

Can’t tell if I like it or not, hard to say how the white is going to look, need to see it in a live pic.

[wiswrist]

Great looking piece. Identical price to the black ceramic PC. Makes sense.

[GB-man]

I like it. If it was my pay grade I’d probably ask for one...and get denied lol

[Token74]

This is my new grail! My Patek 5990 is suddenly on shaky ground!!
