NWA Incoming Starwheel
Been reading a lot of posts regarding the Starwheel lately. Just wanted to share my recent acquisition. This piece really shows off the Code 11.59 range and despite my initial hesitations with it, I changed my mind and decided to line up for one. And yes, it was a relatively long wait. As confirmed with my SA, there are just so few of these. Hope everyone is having a wonderful January and cheers to my fellow AP addicts

Wow! Congrats! I think the Code line is really starting to come to form. The Starwheel is by far the best Code iteration so far. How long was your wait? I'm patiently waiting for the call on this piece.

Congrats! What a beauty.

I had it on my wrist some months ago at the AP House and was truly impressed by how good it looks IRL.

The 16202 is next on my wish list but I could see the Starwheel coming right after that.

I am going to have to disagree with this sentiment, although I do understand it. Obviously, the ultra-complication is in a world of its own, but the openworked tourbillion is IMHO the most beautiful of the codes to date.

Now, priced for mere mortals (although you likely have to spend a lot to get the allocation)...the starwheel is at the top. However, if both were sitting in front of me to choose, it would be the tourb for sure.

Thanks! I actually had experience trying on the newest openworked tourbillon Code and it is spectacular. If only the blue was more navy and less electric blue, also it carries such a staggering price tag
I've attached pictures for reference

Killer! Maybe they will re-release with the navy blue and updated hands.

Beautiful code, Seems that production is super limited and demand is high apparently. Congrats!
