DB openworked new drop
White gold
I think it’s new? Or did I just miss it? |

Don't think you missed it, almost a silent release....
Perhaps you actually have a chance of getting it, rest of us : not so much 🫡 |

Hopefully future iterations bring back the gold bridge…not a fan of the light blue accents 🫠

I still think the original incarnation of the double balance wheel movement in the 15407ST is the best, with the contrast between the dark grey and pink and yellow gold elements (and no text on the crystal).

yeah it's interesting that they're going with the text on the crystal. always thought it was just the 37 that got it because it was a 37 but seems like they've doubled down on it now. bit of a weird touch on an otherwise flawless piece of art that their openworkeds are

I don’t mind the minute track and smaller minute indicators. Would rather not have “Audemars Piguet” on the crystal (preferred on the minute track)
The big misstep in my opinion is the balance bridge as there’s no more contrast. Hope they don’t go with this design language for the 41.

Not a fan of the gold accents, think it would look better without.

37mm is a great size for AP ROs. My wrist is 7.25 and that is the size I like most. Even 36mm was awesome.

I was waiting to see these come out before I bought the old version on the gray market - and I think this solidifies that I will now.

I think some people in here have seen the new 41. Would be helpful for them to shed light as to whether it will use the same architecture as the 37.

Anecdotally based on what I’d heard about the new 41s theses 37s match the description but I have not seen them for myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The movement seems to be no different than the current DB caliber.

Yeah, I wonder if we will get a new caliber for the latest iteration

I would think we get a new caliber. This 3100 base movement isn't used in other references anymore I believe.

Yeah, and it’s been out for quite some time. Here’s to hoping!

Hope they will not go architecturally in a Jumbo openwork way... even it is, from technical and even more from the finishing side, superior to double balance openwork, I find all iterations of Jumbo openwork visually worst openwork models they made... ok, that worst is still brilliant but not on pair with their other models...

Call me crazy but I'd be happy if they keep the current DBW movement around for a long time. It's gorgeous and I'm still years away from sniffing one

I wish they would bring back the openworked movement based on the legendary 2121 movement used only in the limited production 39mm squelette jumbos like the 15204. Sadly only 2 references only utilized that movement and both were produced in such limited quantities

Just got the RG version recently, and really like all three of these new ones! YG would probably be my first choice.

propbably the last 14506 reference before a new skeleton.
AP normally use YG with their final versions like they did with the RO chrono |

But wasn’t their talk of an updated or new steel openworked release?
Has anyone heard or seen? |

Initial opinion based on pics... The original is MUCH better
