With all due respect to everyone’s opinion.

I have to agree with FabR. Audemars has in 1992 created the Royal Oak foundation wristwatch,
which featured the image of a tree on the dial to support its charity of saving the planet and through
preservation of forests. This I found tasteful and beautiful.
But the image portrayed in this watch has an element of politics to it, and imho horology, as in sports, should be free
from politics and religion in such a manner ie iconography. Now if that’s ok with you that’s your opinion and entitled
to it. But what’s next for AP? A dial with the image of Jesus? It’s just not the right direction for a storied brand as AP.
It’s not a distaste for politics or religion that makes us feel this way, but rather our love for horology and AP.
Sincerely
H.

Pictures dont do this watch justice.

Whilst its as far as possible from being a watch I’d acquire, when you hold it in the flesh there’s something to it. Looking through a loupe into the eyes of the panther is quite something. Concept at 42mm is another plus in my books.

I've brought this up before. But he wears so many different AP models (and he does it well, just like the one above) but they don't do anything else with him in regards to marketing, new signature watch, ... all that. 1 signature model a decade or so ago....
Horrendous!!

I am in agreement with you on solid design and incredible watches.

As far as this watch is concerned i have a differing opinion. It’s not just this one watch that we are discussing but more so the direction AP is taking, the road it’s heading down so to speak. As far as environmental causes being political, sure they can...
Very Cool

Ap has always done something new and different ..

First to create an expensive steel super luxury watch , been the first to use cutting edge materials in their case making and first to engage sports personalities as ambassadors and issuing limited editions in conjunction . Ap marvel was a daring move and...

It has upset some watch people because a beloved line has been used as a canvass to produce something altogether different. I find this rather odd. It doesn't change the Royal Oaks the same people like and even cherish. It's just another iteration. That's...

I have tried the watch last week in AP flagship store in Geneva and loved it 🥰 Gentlemen, this is just a comic watch ! Relax 😎 So many more serious things happening in the world today...

In this world of Royal Oaks, Nautiluses, Daytonas, and RM11’s where everybody literally has some variant of the same watch, it’s nice to see some differentiation these days. Certainly not loved by everybody, but the more I see it, the more I get it. Subje...
