My wife has been very patient listening to me talk about watches morning, noon and night since we met, which is well over a decade ago. She’s been very patient, even shown an interest in my ramblings

For the last two and a half years she’s taken over an hours car journey, followed by a two hour plus train journey and then various tube stops to accompany me to AP so I can talk about my favourite hobby. In fact every time we visit London, I try and fit in a visit.

She’s seen my AP collection from the beginning and knows how much I enjoy owning and wearing them.

Unbeknown to her I made a call. . . . . Then booked a train and a hotel . . . . It’s only fair that she joined in . . . . .

She is totally over the moon. I have to say it’s stunning in the flesh. Couple of quick photos.

Ashj52 · 11 January 2023, 08:37 AM

Congrats - that dial is beautiful! Good to hear she is delighted with it!

chalkflewup · 11 January 2023, 09:03 AM

Stunning! That has the right balance of steel, diamonds and blue.

mickyd329 · 11 January 2023, 10:02 AM

Stunning piece! Congrats to her. I got my wife the darker blue version and she loves it.

VogelPhoenix · 11 January 2023, 10:28 AM

brandrea · 11 January 2023, 10:39 AM

Wow, that’s beautiful

Congratulations to her.

Thanks for making the rest of us look like a bunch of chumps

It looks perfect on her wrist, congratulations!

Which size is this one, 34mm or 37mm? I can never tell from solo pictures.

I keep telling Amanda how lucky she is (do keep sending the money for that to continue please.....) but now there's another reason she's a fortunate lady

Just a stunning ladies AP and I'm sure she is thrilled. The Ice Blue dial here is just incredible.

V25V · 12 January 2023, 12:01 AM

I generally do not like diamonds on a watch but with the light blue dial, it looks really pretty! Congrats to your wife, looks amazing.

Ichiran · 12 January 2023, 12:46 AM

Congrats to your wife, Stephen. This is such a spectacular watch.

AshAP · 12 January 2023, 01:06 AM

Congratulations to your wife, it’s stunning. I’ve asked for the darker blue version for my wife. My best mates wife often wears a Royal Oak and it does look very cool on a lady.

It’s a 34mm. She’s previously only owned 28mm and 31mm, but this look prefect on her.
