Never seen this before

I always feel that AP is always consistently based upon their Royal Oak collection when their other collections are equally as awesome!! Your watch is a "case" in point (pun intended ;p) Do you have more pics of your beauty and if so please share! Thanks ... 

Agreed Jules for the engineering ..all day

Thanks to Giulio Papi for bringing this 6hz beast to life ... the strap on this feels better than my ROs combined. Was my second AP after classic 2120 Jules thin in black. ...  

A absolute stunning AP .

It’s a robin escapement just sounds like a grasshopper given 6hz ...that’s my nickname haha. basically no middle man from power gear train to balance wheel (ie no swiss lever). But then doesn’t need lube as direct impulse so can run at high freq; hence th...

new escapements are one of the pinnacle of the watchmaking art and I absolutely love to see what new stuff watchmakers create!! I do not know of any other watch with a robin escapement but there are other watches that do have "similar" escapement like the...

Shame people focus so much on the RO line when these models exists, especially when they have the R&P movements inside 👏

Once again agreed

I remember having a borrowed one sitting on my nightstand. It certainly has a very loud and different type of ticking sound due to the Robin escapement. Amazing finishing on this watch, especially on the two big concave polished wheels in the back. Just a... 

What a watch! [nt]
