Tradition d'Excellence Cabinet Piece No 4
This won't be re-released. It was a limited edition of 20. It was piece 4 of a wider series of 8 cabinet pieces, each of which demonstrated a different aspect of AP's master watchmaking ability. IMO this is the best RO ever made.
17 years and it still looks incredibly cool and futuristic.
It was way ahead of it's time. It reminds me of the first time I sported a white dial rubber clad. I was blown away and thought it was something from the future. This complication is mind blowing on the RO. Thanks for sharing the photo.
Absolutely Awesome
Always loved that model. Beyond a Grail. Just from another world. Thanks for the pic.
Precisely! 17yrs ago AP had this complication/concept when..
..most other brands were jewelers etc or simply didnt exist. The skeleton dial, exhibition back, Power reserve,lume everything about this piece fits the current trend. Infact, the whole string of that DNA seems to have become dominant. I do wonder sometim...
I liked it a lot. But that was at a time when Tourbillon were still prestigious.
Nowadays, there are tourbillons everywhere... I am working on that topic I will post on the JLC forum, one day. Best, nicolas
True, with the glut comes the restless dissatisfaction, the anxiety
which turned most collectors to become traders. We all witness that the turnaround time - from retail purchase to grey mkt- is in months now
It's great
But the tourbillon does not really attract me. Tenndays power reserve and chronograph - yes. Best Kari
Still looks fresh, modern, and all around awesome
I have never seen this piece before, thanks for sharing.
Is this watch being re-release?
I just saw an watch that looks so similar to the pics at display at Ngee Ann City (Singapore) Sincere watch shop display... Did not took a window display shot though... Iceheller

That is the first descendant..very close but it doesnt offer PR. They made changes to the bridges but more or less
its the same watch with newer components...ceramic etc. The original is on bracelet platinum with tapisserie, color etc
I saw this watch at the AP Museum in Le Brassus
It is mesmerizing. Thanks for posting this exceptional piece.
