Audemars Piguet

Did. Once upon a time..

 

Can anyone still keep track the total number of ROO versions made using same body, soul with just different clothes and make-up on? 50s.. 100s?? Seems to me like AP themselves are confused now as to which dial, pusher, color, material etc. goes into which and where. With current regular models looking more LE's like in audacity, while their recent LEs taking on the more subtle conservative regular look. Hmmp.. probably swapping places for a change after all these years ain't such a bad thing for sales? I 'Trulli' hope they'll come up with something more innovative soon. Or maybe just any simpler additional things/change--power reserve, GMT etc.? Being a long time AP fan and collector, thing's just getting a little too much.

Hi there! I personally don't think there can be too many Royal Oak Offshore limited editions. Not only do they keep the horological world interesting and enjoyable to us enthusiasts, it allows AP to creatively acknowledge and celebrate remarkable individu... 

Too many LEs, but..

I used to be crazy for every LE released...till two years back...I got really cynical. Not I m back to classic RO...not ROO, and just a bumblebee and a a older ROO will do. I was rubbishing AP for this unlimited limited edition issues, when I realized one...

Horo, I am a young guy looking to buy his first AP (black rubber clad) and as I have been researching the watch I continue to see your name everywhere. Would it be possible to talk to you and get your two cents about making my first AP purchase?? you seem...

I faced your concerns head-on when I reviewed the AP ROO Montauk earlier this year. As I said then, iterations like the Montauk will come and go, with some variations on color, material, or slightly modified features being more/less successful than others...
