The AP Trifecta - perfect and congrats!

Definitely you got all your bases covered with an RO, and ROO and the 11.59.

I am in the journey for my second AP - the current one 15500ST was actually a replacement for my 15202ST which is the grail for many but which I found to be too delicate to put on, too large to wear because oh the wrist span, and too cumbersome to use when I change timepiece due to its old date changing mechanism. But nothing wrong with such except for my person preference which I eventually found on the 15500ST with its modern date mechanism and smaller wrist span.

There are two more in my search algorithm but definitely it will be an ROC and an 11.59.

Wear those watches in the best of health!

The essence of Audemars Piguet, in 3 watches

 
 By: MichaelC : April 5th, 2024-17:31
I am not usually one for group shots, but as my good friend Peter asked for 2 of these, I figured let's get a few snaps of the trio. I bought my first AP in 2001, so I am approaching 25 years with the brand. I have never not owned an AP over this time, an...  

Awesome.

Thanks my Friend.

Those 3 watches certainly capture some of the breadth of AP’s offering. All the best, Jon

My pleasure, Jon.

Different collections, complications, materials, straps - it is a wide reaching trio from AP.

+1

Phenomenal trio and outstanding write up

Definitely several of the best of the best releases by AP, and I especially enjoyed the tie to your own personal story and history. As shared to you before - it's your original posts that got me into AP (and probably Panerai) over two decades ago - and so... 

You are always too kind, my Friend.

I have always been very pleased to share my passion for AP, and any discontent too. Fortunately for me, there has not been a lot of the latter. But I always try to be objective and look through clear lenses. Everyone knows I love this brand, but I remain ... 

Great trio!

Jumbo, Offshore and Starwheel is my wining formula as well ...  

Another great trio. A real trippidi!

Thanks for sharing this combo. I think you need a concept! Peter

Thanks, and congrats to you on your near identical trio!!

 
 By: MichaelC : April 8th, 2024-14:47
Oak, Offshore & CODE... maybe we can write a song!! ;-)

All the AP’s one need

 
 By: Eikþyrnir : April 6th, 2024-20:43
These three are marvelous! A jumbo, exquisite Offshore and a beautiful 11.59. A trio that in itself is a complete collection

I feel many AP bases are covered and they leave me quite content

 
 By: MichaelC : April 8th, 2024-14:48
Not that I do not lust for others though!

great collection!

 
 By: Jakx : April 6th, 2024-22:07
hard to match the jumbo and code combo!

Thank you, Sir :-)

Thanks, and be sure to share the 15500!!

I like your plan to add a CODE and ROC. With both available in smaller cases, you will find a perfect fit. Now, to decide the models you most like!

Starwheel and Survivor really standout in this small group.

My love for the Royal Oak runs very deep. But if I am being honest, the Parmigiani options are just as good, and include a better movement. And they cost less. And yet the geometry of the Royal Oak will always have a place in my heart, and collection.
