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...
. . . 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
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...
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...
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 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...
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
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
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 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.
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).

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...
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 ...
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
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...
