AP London exhibition pieces

[GS93108]

For those in the UK it’s worth noting that AP House London have a number of exhibition pieces from the anniversary 2022 lineup. Note though that not everything is available to see at all times as often pieces are out on press shoots etc.







They have the chronos too, and the jumbo pt and others too. The only jumbo they don’t have is the RG openworked.

The YG was more pale that I had expected. I loved it, and if money were no object and if AP would sell me anything I wanted then I'd buy it, but I honestly couldn't see me wearing it more than a few times a year. The dial though is spectacular.

Totally agree & especially in the uk - I’d prefer to keep all my limbs intact thank you

LOL that's the same thought I had. If I lived in the middle east, would wear that proudly.

How's the openworked in person?

Truthfully I'd choose the 15407 all day long. But if you factor in that this is a jumbo and a new openwork movement entirely then it has to be respected. For me the simple fact is that it's too undefined and blends too much. It's a shame I couldn't see the RG model because I think that the RG coupled with the darker dial will absolutely rock.

Great photos and thanks for sharing!

Was the ROC black or green in the photo?

Actually that was a 38mm Blue.

To be honest I didn't see the Blue or Green 41mm ROCs, they were in the building, but we never got around to playing with them.

Same preference here Gary.

I didn't care for the AP script at all on the Jumbo Openworked crystal....it just looked all wrong to me. Also on that marketing piece the twin batons at 12 looked slightly off too but the guys AP disagreed with me about that

Did you see the Rose Gold 16202 with the Smoke dial? That was lovely.

I totally forgot to take pics when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I’m not a fan of the transfer script either but I’d get over it on the RG model

I can’t say I studied any of them in great detail, the first impression is what I rely on, so I honestly didn’t notice the 12 o’clock markers.

The RG model was out on a press shoot. But the pic from XX looks pretty nice.

How can you visit AP and ‘forget’ to take pics? What sort of APer are you?

The rose gold looks very sexy!

This looks so good - matches your skin tone very nicely too!

I'm also personally a big fan of the rose gold with the darker movement, as I prefer contrast versus the monotone look.

Hopefully I can see one live soon.

That yellow gold ��

Very nice!
Do you have more pics of the 38mm Chrono?

Just one I’m afraid.



It’s lovely and a really nice size. From memory I think it’s the first 38mm that I’ve interacted with.

Thank you! It looks nice but i dont know why but i think the base Royal Oak looks better than the RO Chrono.

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

[GS93108]

Here are a few my wife took that I didn’t know about.

Thanks for the pics and stunning pieces.

Although I feel the open work Jumbo seems very underwhelming in pics compared to the 15407, what did you think?

AP's pics make it look washed out. IRL it's better for sure, it's actually impressive. But to my eye it's all too similarly coloured and blends together too much, without any real defining contrast. Perhaps that's what AP was going for? Take a look at the new Tourbillon RO Openwork, it's essentially the same colour scheme. Both are magnificent beasts but both will be polarising.

Exactly. It's such as shame that the RG model wasn't in London. I imagine that the whole openwork takes on a completely different personality as a dark contrast against RG. I think I'm probably grateful London didn't have it :)

Both will be huge hits, the pinnacle of the jumbo - and if I understand correctly, ONLY available this year.

Hi there …. Had a fantastic morning at AP and tried on some amazing watches. The whole experience was just brilliant thanks to Adam. Got so wrapped up in it I forgot to take some pictures. Got this Rose gold one

Glad you had a good day, well done. Nice pic, a beauty.

Audemars script on the openwork totally misses the mark. Looks like an afterthought

I'm not a fan, but whilst I wasn't 'studying' it, I didn't overly notice the scripting either.
