An incoming for the ages.
Am very blessed to get the call. To me, the 15407st is probably the best steel sports watch out there.

Have always heard that an openwork would be piece #8-10 in general, and that has been the case for me. Good diversity of materials and models certainly help. Wasn’t a particularly long journey for me, but expensive nonetheless.

Congratulations! This is huge

Would you want this in the pink gold instead of steel? any idea how difficult is it to ask for the precious metal compared to this stainless steel piece?

Pink gold would be awesome as that entire watch plus the double balance bridge would stand out beautifully. However, I already have a RG jumbo so I opted for the steel openwork. I wanted one of my jumbo or openwork to be steel.

Amazing and congrats! Agree that it’s one of the most beautiful watches out there. AP or otherwise.

Great timing too with the imminent discontinuation of the ref.

Thank you. I’m pretty sure AP would replace the 15407st with a new openwork, and my guess is that it’ll have a nicer caseback. I just feel the openwork has gotten such a cult following, and it’s become so iconic for AP, that there’s no way it gets taken off the menu.
