Hello,

Last night I got a call that it would be possible to get a Aufemars Piguet 15407steel.
It’s a great piece, but I don’t know if I should sell my 1 year old Platin Daytona to buy the Skeleton?!
What would you do?

mnl · 21 November 2018, 02:47 PM

I would personally do it without hesitation, the 15407 is my favorite watch!!

But I don’t know if you should do it, one more thing that’s super important is fit. How big is your wrist? I have tiny wrists, the Daytona fits well, and so does my 15450, but the 15400/15407 is way too big for me…

I nearly broke my iphone i hit the button for the 15407 so hard.

Lol!

I am a big time Daytona fan but that AP is brilliant.

Do it, it's a no brainer...

ragsk · 21 November 2018, 05:57 PM

One of the most pointless polls ever.

Hermann just do it bro. You know you need the swap

Rolex Essex · 21 November 2018, 06:28 PM

I’m a Daytona fan but that AP skeleton is in another league.

AK797 · 21 November 2018, 10:17 PM

I'm in a similar situation with a watch I have and one I want so I'm going to see them side by side and then let my heart and instinct tell me.

1William · 21 November 2018, 10:33 PM

I prefer the Platinum Daytona.

VFA · 21 November 2018, 11:07 PM

You need both

Hard_Six · 22 November 2018, 12:54 AM

Skeleton

soran · 22 November 2018, 01:16 AM

The level of finishing on the 116506 is no different than the 116500. Imho the 116506 looks very "basic" compared to the 15407st

SC11 · 22 November 2018, 01:40 AM

This isn’t even a fair contest, openworked all day everyday

My only concern would be if you purchased the 116506 at retail and then paying a premium on the 15407!

wiswrist · 22 November 2018, 01:52 AM

15407st everyday (as long as this isn't a one piece collection).

Agree with this.

vman · 22 November 2018, 04:59 AM

Why is this even a question. Daytona all the way!!!

Just kidding ;-) Go w the AP!

descartes · 22 November 2018, 12:23 PM

Both such special watches.

Are you getting the AP at retail?
If not— as cool as it is— I couldn’t give up the Platona for it.

+100. No brainer. You can buy back the Platona anyday while same cant be said of the 15407ST

HK Islandboy · 22 November 2018, 02:57 PM

15407. Without a moment’s hesitation

Helmi · 22 November 2018, 03:35 PM

15407 if at retail. If at premium, I would stick with the platona, it is one of my favorites

Tomas Eriksson · 23 November 2018, 05:47 AM

15407 without any hesitation. It’s majestic

15407 no question .....

tonupbklyn · 23 November 2018, 07:22 AM

i believe it was mentioned already...just by sheer scarcity the 407 wins.

Agree

waters10k · 23 November 2018, 07:31 AM

Another vote for the Daytona

Ichiran · 23 November 2018, 11:53 AM

One of the easiest polls for me - the 15407 is on another planet.

gin47 · 24 November 2018, 01:44 AM

Love the Daytona as I'm a big Daytona fan but I have to say the 15407 is a damn beautiful watch.

superstarmar · 24 November 2018, 02:09 AM

I wouldn’t do that ... The Platona smokes that AP imho.
I’m not a skeleton fan though . No skeletons for me
already have one on my person ...

Gh0st0 · 24 November 2018, 11:26 AM

How is this even a question? Not even the same planet

Bruins7 · 24 November 2018, 02:05 PM

Huge Daytona fan here as well but I agree with the others that AP is in another league.
