Another discontinued model?

Hi all, after the ceramic diver being discontinued another stunning AP seems to not be produced anymore as I don't find it on their website, I am talking about the full RG skeleton but the non date model, there are 2 RG skeleton models on the AP website, the full RG with date, and the non date but on strap, I suppose that you can buy the bracelet separately, I wanted to know was it always like that or is this new?

Of course since with AP it's always possible, at least as I understand, to choose strap or bracelet which is something I think all high end brands should allow instead of making you choose without being able to swap, and this is a HUGE positive aspect for me about AP

On Chrono 24 there is a non date full RG on sale, did the seller buy it on strap and add the RG bracelet later or is it a model that AP used to produce but stopped like for the divers?

AS far as I can tell from the pics it's exactly the same dial as the non date on strap.

Here's pics of the 3, the first one being absent from the AP website:

AP never released a full RG non-date model. The RG bracelet model that you saw are from owners that add it themselves. Or for owners we own both RG Jumbo and RG Skeleton on Strap, they can swap it.

AP will sell me a RG bracelet for my RG Skeleton for a cool USD25K.

Ben it's practically giving it away at that price, I have a great idea, you sell me you ceramic diver and with the funds you get the bracelet

Anyways thanks for the info

AP removing a lot of watches from their website feels normal to me now :S. Don't want my favourite pieces being discontinued.

Limiting number of references is good thing in my mind!

I was told by NY Boutique some time back that the RG bracelet was 15k USD? Did the price go up in 3 months?

To tell the truth the new price doesn't seem to me expensive as for example other high end brands' gold bracelets, as I understood, are more or less at the same prices, so the new price doesn't shock me, and the period when brands in January for SIHH where I think 12 high brands participate, AP is one of them, and after you have Baselworld, so they probably published the new price, and you asked just before when the AD has no idea, most of the time of what's gonna happen, I hope you didn't want to buy it...
