Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 Titanium Platinum from 2018 or White Gold from this year?.
I must say that when I saw the Royal Oak Titanium Platinum and its superb smoke blue dial, I fell in love. But this year, Audemars Piguet comes back with a white gold version and a superb pink " salmon " dial.
And now, I wonder which one I prefer.
I would say the smoke blue. For two reasons: The contrast of the platinum ( bezel + bracelet links ) and the titanium is superb. Add a great smoke blue dial and I am sold.
But the " pink " is great, too.
Because of the contrast of the titanium and the platinum, my preference goes for it.
You?
Best,
Nicolas

Lots of salmon dials this year, but . . .
. . . we get seemingly dozens (If not hundreds) of blue dials EVERY year. Still, the question posed by Nicolas is a good one. I'd be thrilled to own either one. M4
Sure, but a salmon dial has somehow always given an aura of greater exclusivity to the watch, so personally I just don't like it that it's suddenly being overused by brands.
Patek, for one, is still trying to preserve this special "status of the salmon" (or so I believe, we'll see in a few weeks...), which I appreciate. On its beauty, of course, no discussion -- aesthetically I have no problem to put it pretty much on the sam...
If I was forced to choose ONLY one of these 2 then it would be the IP but...
I am hoping to be able to add both of these in the future at some point. I know the IP is no longer going to be available so it would have to come from a reseller, another collector, or 2nd hand. As for the availability of the salmon dial, we still are no...
I love blue dials , anthracite dials and salmon Dial.
But in case of 15202 I lean towards the Pt/ti version regardless of the numbers produced . I believe in practical weight and just love the colour of titanium being contrasted with highly polished platinum. And offcourse needless to say that blue is a kill...
I would go for the titanium too
I love my watches light and I understand that the white gold model is quite hefty. In addition, the titanium model would offer better value for money in my opinion. Of course, if there was a titanium with a salmon dial, I might actually consider buying on...
Very hard to choose between these two
but if I had to choose based on the pic, I would go for the salmon dial by a thin line. Both are winners IMHO 😁 Cheers
Very difficult question: fell in love with both and luckily for our wallets both will be impossible to have
but would here probably tend 51% to the blue one
difficult ...
I love both but there is 1 thing I really don't like about the blue a RO bezel needs to be brushed, here it is polished and that's so wrong ( to me) That aside I still can't decide
If, I would prefer the standard stainless steel version which has the best balance for my taste.
Although it's a beautiful piece I keep distance to hyped watches, neither for me.
Yep, but the mix of materials and the smoked blue dial make it a winner over the WG.
Nonetheless, the WG is a stunning piece and I certainly would buy one if I had the chance to do.
I would go for the Salmon/Pink one.
I don't like shiny surfaces, the Pt parts of the blue one are too much for me. Make them brushed and I'm in for the blue. Vte
15202Ti for me, too!
I tried the similar chronograph boutique edition and the combination of materials is really great. I you add the thinness of 15202, you gat one piece of perfection. Radu
Thanks for the question Nicolas
I already have the blue 15202 so the Salmon fo for me, I’m on the list!. Justin hope you get both!...Jim
Thanks Jim, I already have a 15202ST but not the IP (Ti / Pl)...
so I am hoping I will be able to add the IP sometime in the future. As for the salmon dial, we will need to see how many AP plan to make as I would also be keen to add it one day if I get the chance 😁 You've curated a great collection of watches so far Ji...
I keep trying and learning
It is a good fight but I really enjoy it! I’m still waiting fo the SS double balance wheel openworks, it might be a while ...Jim
IP is my choice
I am really not too crazy about sport watch in full gold. So, I’d opt for the IP version. The balance of Ti and Pt is very nice. Something I can wear everyday. White gold is a bit much and not an everyday watch for me.
IP for me, the salmon is too brownish I think. And the slight different color of the date wheel pronounces it.
And by the way: why is the crowd discussing a different dial color so much more than three new movements in a completely new collection. I think the Code 11.59 is not that bad (apart from this silly name and the crazy prices).
How about putting the dial and datewheel of the white gold model in the Ti/Pt case?
That would be my ideal combo!
Yes, not really feeling the blue degrade dial of the Ti/Pt version nor precious metal watches like the white gold version
but the "Goldilocks" dial of the new white gold version is very sexy.
Neither.
Because they are too limited, only for special boutique customers. Those of us who have purchased for AD’s over the years really got the message.
Another point that hopefully AP reads.
But it won't make a difference, unfortunately.
Kind of sad because I thought I would always be a huge AP fan.
Luckily we have amazing independent watchmakers that really cater to their customers.
I know I won’t ever have the chance to own either but
I would personally go for the new salmon dial variant as the overall look appeals to me more.
the polished (mirror like effect) bezel and links of the Pt/Ti puts me off to be honest i hate that finish
although the dial is on another level but the bezel and links kill it for me so i would say the WG with salmon dial is the preference here now if the bezel of the Pt was brushed same finish as the whole watch then i would seriously pose and think about it...
Hard to say without seen in person...but
I'd vote for Ti/IP since that blue dial seems like really special and something "visually limited" to me...it tells me AP will not keep doing it...really for a limited time ! As far as "Salmon dial" goes (really beautiful) but note that AP calls it "Pink ...
Love both!
But i am also totally happy with my steel 15202 ! The blue dial is a pure winner, no doubt, but as i am not a huge titanium fan - my dream watch would be the WG RO with the smoked blue dial ! Best! Werner
White gold salmon dial, but
I have my doubts about the color of the date ring and I hope it will be the same as the dial. GEO
Please can you ask ..
me an easy question for a change ? It’s like asking which twin sister you want to date
Undoubtedly the white gold version for me!
I already have an E-series white dial 15202ST, and I've fallen out of love with all my blue dial watches and have sold nearly all of them off. The white gold salmon dial version is beyond special. I love the stealth aspect of it (most will think it SS), a...
