The AP flex of 2021

Delighted and privileged to end the year with this top grail in hand. As a lady who loves men's watches, AP has never pigeon holed me or limited me to smaller or overly decorated pieces. They shared that this beauty is one of the last in the 15202 production retired this year. Excited to see what the evolution of the watch will bring as 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. Happy holidays to all my watch friends!

Congrats! That is so awesome. I'm looking at the 15450 because of my smaller wrist (6.5") and the difficulty in getting a 15202. Yours looks fantastic.

Sweet! How do you like it compared to the 34mm ceramic?

The ceramic is a bit more understated since the black is more subtle. I think once that's made in larger sizes it will be a blockbuster.

Yes the 15450 is a great fit for our wrist size. I'm also a huge fan of the of the older mid-sized ROs like the 14790, 14700 and 25594. All beauties.

Mind sharing how? I'm guessing you already have a long purchase history with that AD?

Yes and regular visits in person to catch up. We don't have a boutique here in San Francisco but I penciled in a stop by on business travel that brought me near one.

Big congrats

2021 was kindof a year of redemption for myself as well, as I sold my blue 15400 previously (not for profit might I add but to buy a house) & regretted it ever since. Then got the call to buy the RO Chrono 2 weeks before my 40th birthday in April & have been wearing it every day since

It’s really cool how AP has embraced and started to cater a bit to women
I never understood why watch brands thought women would only be interested in quartz watches

Yes the boutique shared it was the last one they would see for the reference. Excited for what they do next step.

They have a great female CEO in North America, Ginny Wright who is bringing good balance. Women know how to accessorize so makes a lot of sense to market a spectrum of watches to all.
