Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore Juan Pablo Montoya in Titanium.
Auctioned yesterday, this ROO JPM was and still is one of my favorite Royal Oak Off Shore.
One of these watches I owned and stupidly sold.
Credit picture: Phillips.
For me, it is a kind of " King Of ROO Cool ". I sold it just because I couldn't wear it correctly. I mean, on the wrist, I couldn't set the strap.
But I loved it a lot!
Maybe I should try it again, now...
Best,
Nicolas

AP always put extra effort in limited racing models...
Many limited APs have just a color scheme change but all with automotive theme have a bunch of great details and features.
AP don't make these anymore
Like the RB II AP never make these iconic pieces anymore, and that's one reason I kept both the RB II Ti and Montoya. Selling them is easy but getting one in excellent condition is hard.
I also owned it many years ago. I'll always credit this one as the biggest "rule breaker" among ROO chronographs
So polarizing, early reaction leaning more towards "AP sucks". Famous last words, a handful of those folks ended up buying the watch.
As Nicolas says, no worries!
BUT... you did have me excited, I am not familiar with a JPM proto.
JPM Proto
Once upon a time...I had an opportunity to buy this proto 000/000 a steel version of the "plat blue one"...but at the end it became like an auction and I did not want to go further...but I received photos so here it is... ...
LOL, sorry, I was replying to RTO.
This is a Montoya thread, I was hopeful to see a Montoya Proto!
