About design: the AP RO ref. 5402 A-8xx and the first design drawings of the Aluminaire House by ....
Swiss native architect Albert Frey. He significantly influenced the Palm Springs mid-century modernist architecture.
In the second picture (taken by me last Saturday) you see the Aluminaire House from 1931 outside the Palm Springs Museum of Art. A fascinating architectural story.
In the third picture you see an artistic interpretation of the Aluminaire House by artist Josh Agle.
Cheers, HSTE

Palm Springs does have fun architecture!
I just wished the food in Palm Springs was better. The food is expensive! And the food is so bad! Imagine if Frank Sinatra ate the food at Melvyn's now. Sinatra was known to have a bad temper when he met bad food!
A lovely combination 👌🏻👍🏻
Great building to contrast the watch - and a classical case of where building design reached modernity way before cars (alluding to the poster) 😊👍🏻
I love this reference. A true original.
House looks like it belongs in Palm Springs or Miami Beach today. A timeless design just like the AP.
