Non chrono RO

But AP will never price the non chrono at 16k, that's almost same price for a quartz 33mm RO, my guess if it ever happens will be 22k. The center will be ceramic and the case will be ST or Ti

Don't disagree at all but you can buy a WG/RG Code 11.59 on the secondary market for early £20's if a used one is what you want.

But an entry point Steel offering with a couple of pleasant dials for £16k-£18k would be a bit of a winner I think

I’ve often wondered why they didn’t offer a steel version of Code. Perhaps it is in the works as part of the next phase of Code offerings. I would love a steel+ ceramic version.

Steel and ceramic would be amazing

It would have to be cheaper than a 15510 as this comes with a full bracelet

I think a steel Code while an awesome idea will just end up being an unobtainable piece. I am a Code fan and own one but there are many who only buy it as a means to an RO. A steel one would even be more popular because it's "cheaper to stomach" if your goal is an RO. Kinda like how the 5212 was supposed to be entry calatrava for Patek but ended up being far more popular than any gold piece. But I still agree a steel and ceramic code would be cool!

Wouldn't call a complicated 5212 a entry level to Patek

True, it would cause a frenzied rush and ultimately be unobtainable, especially as a result of those people who actually would appreciate its significance. Therefore, maybe a limited release in future…but that puts me out of the running

It's always a warm and fuzzy feeling trying watches on at the boutique.

What is the 34Bucci? Stop making up ridiculous abbreviations that are impossible to find anywhere else on the web and use references please...

edit: nevermind I found it. just gotta google "34 Bucci ap" not "34bucci". pretty nice watch too.

77350CE.OO.1266CE.02.A, where the "02" makes it the limited edition while the 77350CE.OO.1266CE.01.A is the 50th anniversary 34mm ceramic, with the "A" distinguishing it from last years 77350CE.OO.1266CE.01
