What is this/what is it worth?

Hey guys,

Been trying to find this thing online and can’t find any identical models online, trying to figure out what it would be worth. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Bugger all is it’s value, seeing as AP never made it.

So you are saying it is not authentic? I am asking for a family member who asked if I knew anything about it and I couldn't find anything online.

I was convinced it was not genuine, even with the profile of the bridges and the steel retainer you can see at 5:30 ish.
Now I’m on the computer, I can see there’s an anniversary engraved on the rotor (1875-1995) and appreciate more of the finishing details.
Solid rose gold usage throughout a movement is FP Journe’s trademark, and nothing I can recall ever seeing inside an AP.


Ah ha… found it! Or rather, them.

50 pieces made for the German market in 1996, with 25 in that dial and 25 in the military one – https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=477257

Do you have better pics of the movement? would really like to see it up close. Looks like the AP caliber 2121 but either coated or in RG.
