Last catch of 2021

I'd been fishing for a rare mid-sized Royal Oak for the bulk of the year and it arrived just in time. The 14700 is elusive since it was only produced for 2 years as it was transitional. It was the precursor to the 14790 that's enjoying some popularity right now. I love this TT model cause the bezel is so thin that the dial just pops. It wears larger than you'd expect for a 36mm watch. Cheers to all our catches this year and for a healthier and kinder 2022!

These two tone APs are beautiful and I love the funky dial color that AP used for a number of these models. The size of the 14700 is classic, reminds me of the PP 5107 and 5127 and 36mm Day Date.
Enjoy it.

I've not seen SS one in person yet. Elusive one to source!

So true!! Kinda cool that Genta was a TT fan. So underrated by modern watch enthusiasts.

Didn't plan it that way but will be fun to see what RO 50th will bring
