Not sure about the bulk glass novelty but

the information states that this watch is the end of the current 15202 iteration. A great 'climax' indeed.

Agree this watch will be 'unobtanium' financially. That is good.  Bravo.

It serves not only AP's legend and lore, which is good, but all AP RO collectors, which is great. The fact that this watch serves to enhance 'mere mortal' RO collectors like myself, allows for both the feeling of 'wow, great for AP and the buyer' but also, hey, great for me!, the mere mortal collector.

I have to say thank you to Patek's Thierry Stern for 'forcing AP's hand' in ending this 15202 iteration. It's almost impossible to imagine Thierry's move to end the current Nautilus did not influence AP. Worthy of discussion.

How can this news not make all--AP, the buyer of this Only Watch, and all AP 15202 owners, happy?

M. Bennahmias has struck a perfect political and brand/ collector balance here leaving no one OUT.

Bravo, and the watch ain't too bad either!

Thank you Michael.

I received this information some days ago while traveling and am just getting to posting it. Quite a creation here, with a very special material. Grey dial and old school markings - this one seems destined to be one of those 20+ million dollar auction pie...  

I would love to have this, the blasted titanium is the same finish as my ROO accents...

and the contrast with the bulk metallic glass should be off the charts cool. Michael did you notice that this is confirmation that the 2121 is being retired? Calibre 2131 The End of an Era

Interesting 🤔 bulk metallic glass is hall marked pd500.
