Actually they said they would introduce an inhouse chronograph movement and a new dress style model line in 2019.

The case design itself is super nice but the face is super pale. Could be from any brand, nothing special and not worth their reputation.
But just because they patented something, it doesn't mean they going to launch it. World is full of patent designs that will never see daylight.

A new round AP for 2019?
By: markkeenan : November 10th, 2018-02:23
Following on from the SIHH 2019 post below in Oct - and re-posting an image within the thread from edo.k on Oct 16 from an AP filed patent earlier this year - I recently heard from a dealer in Singapore, that next year AP would be indeed releasing new rou...
looks interesting...

i wish it is in Titanium Gr 5 or Tantalum, no date window &=/<40mm... Best, mahesh.,
What is the patent on?

I don't see what niche this watch fills for AP. They should bring out a viable dress line to compete with the aging calatrava line.
Agree , Jules Audemars needs more models

AP Dress watch : Jules Audemars needs more models . The current models seem attracting few customers as everyone is hidding for RO . AP started as Dress watch manufacturer .
I agree - it could be really interesting!

I think it has elements of an RM diver in its case design (mostly the lugs) an interesting concave crystal and a very unique hybrid round/octagonal case. Assume movement will be the 3120 - or perhaps double balance spring version?
Agree dial is bland - but a tapisserie ...

dial for example on this case could look great! Understand that many patents never make it manufacture, but these do seem to fit the 2019 rumours quite well.
It would be interesting if it came out!

Looks like the patent is only on the appearance, which I notice watch companies do quite a bit. Not as interesting as Rolex' patent for a high-beat movement (!!!) or its further patents on ways to set a watch via the bezel (like the skydweller, but moreso...
I saw it on rolexforums a few years back

I can't find it, but if you look you'll see a bunch of patents for everything from having the Rolex crown on the crown that always ends up upright, to a button-press to switch from one time zone to another (Breguet has a watch like this) to new methods fo...
Interesting.

A response to the VC fifty six perhaps? I have often lamented the absence of the Jules line, it seems calatrava has no competition these days
Other than the 15202

this is the only modern AP that interests me. I would venture to guess that the dial and hands are just mock-ups for the patent. The case design is very interesting with those lugs looking like something out of modern-day architectural design. The crown l...
