Got a little beauty last week that I did not post yet. How I wish AP would make this in a modern iteration!!
Usually YG is not my thing but the opportunity presented itself and I simply could not refuse. After wearing it for several days last week, I am now convinced I want it in WG as well as PT but with different dial configurations (guilloché and hand engrave...
It is 11.10 in the second pic
I love the way the numerals are reflected in the polished rehaut - superb and creative piece. I lust for the Star Wheel Millenary in Steel
Ah yes, if you are not used to reading the display it might be a bit confusing. If you think about the Urwerk pieces and their satellite system, the Starwheel was the predecessor to that...
The 1st photo shows a time of 11:04 The 2nd photo shows 11:10 😉👍
Your favorite AP mon ami? I did not know that, even more than the Royal Oak Jumbo and/or your 5402?
I will say, it is quickly becoming one of my favorites from AP as well. It is 36mm but has an UBER cool feel on the wrist which gives it much more wrist presence. Even my wife thinks it is uber cool and that is saying A LOT !! 🤣🤣 The hunt has already begu...
For me, this was the period
that AP produced its best watches - this Star Wheel, the John Shaeffer range, sublime watches.
It was indeed a special time and era for AP Sham. I am rediscovering these beauties I missed back then and I have to say, the quality, craftsmanship, and designs is amazing. I am having so much fun rediscovering all these vintage/Neo vintage beauties...
Really makes me feel like a young collector again 😉😁👍
And how you feel is what counts the most!!
I will be 58 in August but I am in denial as I play squash competitively four times a week, badminton once a week and make love almost every night! (No I do not have French blood!!)
Can you be really sure it does not exist, hidden away in a crazy collection?
I wish they had produced a piece unique
Huge congrats on this one
Very unusual but captivating AP, and what a great way to tell time
I can only agree, it is a striking watch even if it is not a minute repeater ;-)
Actually it is a really original feature which is almost a complication even if it is actually not one in the horological sense of the word Big congrats my friend, excellent catch!
LOL Mike, if AP made a Starwheel MR, that would tear a ripple in time LOL 🤣😉. This simple little Starwheel is such an uber cool beauty. Makes me think why I waited so long to get one 🤔🤷♂️
In any case, the hunt has already started for a WG and PT variant 😜🤪
It was only a play on the words with striking watch... 😉
Looking forward to seeing your Starwheel collection YG / WG / Pt 👌👌 that will be terrific
Wow,what a superb watch!
One of the icons from AP which personally I like a lot in the yellow gold version. I agree with you that AP should honor its glorious past a bit more with modern variants of selected historical references.
What a creative addition to your collection!
I think a Starwheel in a CODE 11.59 case would be absolutely amazing. I do hope they bring back this splendid complication,one day. I can say for sure it has been discussed at the brand.
You’re buying watches like groceries my friend, congratulations again…
This one in RG did exceptionally well last week in Geneva…and I think people may be starting to appreciate more traditional beauties, if this is a trend.
Groceries, LOL Raymond. I've got a few more incoming so I must be stockpiling canned foods and non-perishables 🤣🤣. And yes, I did see the Phillips result for the RG Starwheel. Maybe people are starting to realize what a gem these really are 😉
I think lots of people are getting modern watch fatigue with certain sports watches and the same type of watch everyone else has so they are starting to look for more unique watches. Hence why the Independents have seen a surge and there is a newfound int...
Huge Congrats. Such a gorgeous AP
Definitely something you need to see on the wrist . So beautiful.
I'll have one of these please
But I will pass on this 45mm pretender from Arnold & Son ...
Congratulations, Justin!
I'm a huge fan of complications like these that transform the way a watch looks and shows time. This one does it in a particularly elegant way. As I said in the other thread, a very underappreciated AP!
Huge congratulations
This is so incredibly cool. I looked at this exact combination so many times. Wish I had pulled the trigger now.
