Like the unique editions for Mayer and Travis they made platinum edition unique piece for Kaws and some yellow gold for "friends and family"... so we will not see any of these for sale... or wait... AP family and friends are not among the loyal ones, so these yg will welcome the gray market soon...

Honestly some of the recent things were hit or miss (don't really like the 16202 Kaws AT ALL). That said, I'd prefer they try things out vs Paket which after 25y could basically muster up the creative strength to make their Nautilus square or Rolex, which pretends to be groundbreaking by changing the lugs of their existing watch by 0.3mm per iteration... |

The platinum is sublime in person along with the weight of the watch, quite splendid, was able to try it on when they launched the 50th collection in 2022. Dial does remind me of a radar sonar screen though. I've seen them now go for ~$160-$170k which I think is a great value and hidden gem. Would love to add one in the future, would pair well with the 15202bc.

~90k CHF for the 15202pt, can't recall on the 16202pt but I would suspect closer to ~100k-110k CHF (price hike + 50th + new movement), believe it was POR.
Amen!

I read the original post. What is the argument? Same total production, more variants = less collectibility. I could say, same total production, more variants = more collectibility, and it would be just as well argued (i.e., not much at all).

The argument is probably that the more special editions there are (like with Grand Seiko or Omega), the less special any particular edition would be, in that more people would have a special edition even if not the exact same configuration. For some that would make it less collectable, but for people who are able to buy every variant of the openworked that may make it more collectable.

I am not anti special edition from someone like AP. For me, it is just more chance that they will make the exact configuration that I want to buy and wear.

I'll take it a little further and say that the more special editions there are in the industry, it makes ALL special editions / limited editions less special. all the 250 production runs from AP doesn't mean anything when there are so many not just from AP, but from other brands "greater" or "lesser" than AP I also think 1 of 1's are becoming less prestigious when so many people have a 1 of 1. and clearly, the significance of a 1 of 1 goes down the toilet when guys like Stalone and Brady just dump their pieces without even wearing them. I don't know these guys obviously, but if they don't even respect a watch made just for them, why should we? |

First lives of white ceramic db... the aventurine part is too small and covered in markers so the texture can't be noticable... pretty much a waste of material...

This might have been either a top collectors piece which I heard there is one that was designed buy a group of top collectors invited to AP factory and allowed to design one watch for the group or that art exhibit Either way can’t wait to see these hit the market place. |

I get what you are saying, but I think overall, the more itterations you make of something special, something limited, the less desireable it becomes.
