Incoming! RO Perpetual Calendar!
My lovely SA invited me today to visit the new AP house and said he’s got some watches to show me.

He first showed me some incredible pieces (the new 38mm royal oak chronograph and the 15500!).

BUT... I was waiting to see my holy grail.

I asked, he went in, after so long, came out with the little white box, said: “you can try it and purchase it.”

The blue plastic on the bracelet was peeled in front of me, and with care, I put it on my wrist.





“FINALLY”

They adjusted the bracelet, and now couldn’t be more perfect.



Went home happily with a giant box.

Few more pictures to wrap up.

It is a very nice piece and the size is perfect!
I tried the 38mm ro chrono today and it's smaller than I thought...don't like it so much anymore haha.

I didn’t really ask to see more watches because in my mind it was only the PC haha.
On display they’ve had the CODE (which is lovely to see in person) and the new offshore(my wrist is fairly small, not very interested)
