AP have truly delivered here.

Stunning watch, both mechanically and visually.

I like the panda version more. However, if you wanted "stealth wealth", this has to be probably the most under the radar 1+ million dollar watch there is.

The skeleton versions are absolute perfection. Word is it’s super robust for a complicated movement and can withstand golf and swimming for daily use. LOVE IT!

personally i think the black dial makes the watch lack contrast. The beige dial is the best. The skeleton is too busy and a mess to look at. I think that skeleton/open work dials work best with simpler watches.

I love the way they changed the chronograph to make it slimmer and changed the rotor to turn around part of it.

I hope we get to see this tech bring us thinner chronographs. Maybe even a chrono in the jumbo case. Already got an ultra thin RO perpetual…would be cool if we got an ultra thin chrono…even if in a 41mm case.

The black dial would be my choice.

That's a beautiful dial. The case isn't my thing (mostly the lugs) but I like where code is heading.

More from an observatory point of view - I imagine this will only be offered to their very highest echelon VIPs.

Some article mentioned 7/year as production goal, but I couldn't tell whether that was per model (so 28/year) or total - I'd guess the latter.

Some were pre sold was what I was told. You can also do some custom modifications (not sure what or where)

The movement sounds amazing. It’s like taking the hottest supermodel in the world and dressing her in dirt covered potato sacks.

Poor movement!

Maybe one day you will have your Cinderella moment before the midnight clock strikes and be blessed with a Royal Oak case!
