AP have truly delivered here.
Stunning watch, both mechanically and visually.

I like the panda version more. However, if you wanted "stealth wealth", this has to be probably the most under the radar 1+ million dollar watch there is.

The skeleton versions are absolute perfection. Word is it’s super robust for a complicated movement and can withstand golf and swimming for daily use. LOVE IT!

I love the way they changed the chronograph to make it slimmer and changed the rotor to turn around part of it.
I hope we get to see this tech bring us thinner chronographs. Maybe even a chrono in the jumbo case. Already got an ultra thin RO perpetual…would be cool if we got an ultra thin chrono…even if in a 41mm case. |

Is it just me or does the black dial version look better than the skeleton? Not often I would pick a non-skeleton over a skeleton.

20m water resistance would not be enough for swimming. Just because Austin Chu says it, doesn't mean it is true. If the watch gets messed up under water, does Audemars Piguet fix it for free under warranty?

personally i think the black dial makes the watch lack contrast. The beige dial is the best. The skeleton is too busy and a mess to look at. I think that skeleton/open work dials work best with simpler watches. |

That's a beautiful dial. The case isn't my thing (mostly the lugs) but I like where code is heading.

I am interested to see how the allocation process works.

The movement sounds amazing. It’s like taking the hottest supermodel in the world and dressing her in dirt covered potato sacks.
Poor movement! Maybe one day you will have your Cinderella moment before the midnight clock strikes and be blessed with a Royal Oak case! |

More from an observatory point of view - I imagine this will only be offered to their very highest echelon VIPs.

What I can't believe is that the skeletonized dial cost 150,000 CHF more than the regular dial. Does it take a whole year for the guy to engrave the dial? :)
