I had the tourbillion on my wrist yesterday at the NYC boutique. It is an amazing piece..... though a little pricey at 231k.

Amazing piece indeed, but if the money wouldn't be a issue i'd go for the Jules Audemars Grand Complication...Only 900K

Thanks! I much prefer the design of the dial compared to "regular" ROOs. Any idea if all future Offshores will feature this new dial design? Just seems so much sleeker without the old-school font, large numbers.

No one besides AP knows, I guess both models will be in production for a couple of years from now.

Great looking watches Thomas. My next watch was going to be the blue dial PP 5960P. You have got me thinking. Marcus on Bond St have still not called me ref the new 44mm carbon and I was thinking they have done me a favour, not so sure after seeing your pictures.

Still waiting for the call? Both Marcus and Harrods had the 44mm on display already in June when I was there

I'm still not sure if I like the stick index dial though.

Am I the only one who never saw a Tourbillon or a Moonphase indicator on an AP? I'd hate to sound like an ignorant but I think they look gorgeous!

Those are some very beautiful Thomas, thank you for sharing.

Awesome pictures as always Thomas

Seen this? The upcoming 40th Anniversary Royal Oak 15203 in platinum! The caliber is only 3 millimeters thick and the watch is limited to 40 pieces.

1972-2012... Timeless classic. I should celebrate this with a 15303

Yeah 15203 was just announced. It's a sweet watch! Only 40 so the odds of getting one is nearly zero.

I can't wait to try one on

Which one do you like the most? I think the 15305 is more visually appealing whereas the 15203 is more impressive (super thin movement, platinum and date function ).

I actually prefer the 15305 with its oxidated finish on the movement,
Though the weight of Platinum would be lovely!

I completely agree

But I think the 15203's movement has gone through the same galvanic treatment to get an anthracite color. It looks brighter though, probably because that big plate in the middle

I actually think the Pt Jumbo is nicest. Not to mention rare at just 8 pieces. However I'd love to get the 15203.

It would be impossible to get anything done with that watch on the wrist. The movement must be hypnotic.

It's a beauty for sure, And your right about that the movement..it is hypnotic
Tried the 15305 on a couple of weeks ago and I was stunned by its beauty
