Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph in Pink Gold

Friends,

As mentioned over at the VC forum, I have been in a Sport Chic mode lately…

And while in that mode, naturally I need to visit the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak!

This time the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph in Pink Gold, 41mm in diameter / 11mm thick.

Beautiful blue Grande Tapisserie dial with Pink Gold sub dials.

I find the sub dials a bit too close to the centre and the date window a bit too far in to the dial for my taste…

But, that might just me over analysing the watch zooming in on macro shots or the date window’s position…

On the wrist the 41mm case feel just right! The blue alligator strap has a very high quality and the is comfortable.

Love the warm glow of the Pink Gold in the dim store light…

I am a bit surprised we don’t see this watch here more often. A stunning watch for sure!

Best

I don't mean to be deliberately biased, but this AP vs the PP 5980R is no comparison IMO.

Dial layout, movement, color...with respect, I'll take the PP all day, every day 😳

Difficult to compare the two, IMO

Yes, both "Sports Chic", chronograph's and coloured gold... But one being a classic chronograph while the other is more of a concept chrono. Also very different in character. Best Blomman

Shocking revelation from you, 5980

I would expect no less. I would also choose the 5980R over this particular ROC.

Ha. What have me away 😉??? [nt]

Blue and pink gold work very well together in my opinion. It’s a very nice timepiece

Yes, blue and pink is a very nice combination! [nt]

Like a GP 1966 blue dial and pink gold case 😉

I am just checking out the competiton...! ;)

No, more seriously, I am starting to think I would love to have a Sport Chic family... Best Blomman

I do not disagree with your assessment of the subdials and date locations. A clear result of using the same movement from the 39mm version in the newer 41mm version. Now, when the in-house AP chrono movement is revealed, let's hope this design is addresse...
