Glad to hear it Zack.
I don't know why I did not grab some photos on the course when we had Ian and Bud for our holes. I think Bud's 4 iron from the rough, over the water, around the 50' tree, from 210 yards to 12 feet below the cup was the greatest shot I have ever seen live. I wonder how many he could get that close if he tried 10 times. How the hell did that eagle putt miss left 5 times!!
2013 Audemars Piguet Golf Trophy
On August 26th, Audemars Piguet hosted the AP Golf Trophy event at Winged Foot Golf Club in Westchester, NY. The event is organized for brand clients and allows them the once in a lifetime chance to play with professional golfers who are AP Ambassadors. T...
As always great to catch up Michael!
Glad you got home safe. The event was fantastic as well.
It was my pleasure ATW
Sorry we did not get more time together. The RG Schumi looked so awesome on you... I'm real happy you got that watch. Be well my Brother!
I visited the Audemars Piguet NYC boutique today.
The display seemed a little thin, then I was told about all of these really cool pieces that were at the tournament and will be back soon. Only problem is I will leave town before they return. Guess they cannot twist my arm this week. JerryW
Oh they can still twist from afar...
They must be one of FedEx's best clients ;-) Sorry you did not get to see the full collection Jerry. Hope all is well with you.
It must have been a superb moment, indeed.
The openworked Minute Repeater caught my attention. More to share and to tell? Best, Michael, and thanks for this post! Nicolas
Well, I believe it is available!
The openwork is so superbly executed. The piece has a lot of depth and is a true work of art. I did not activate the repeater on it but did on the titanium Millenary and it was heavenly. Definitely a complication I aspire to own one day.
Hi,I loved the place and adored the watches.Fantastic event .
Thanks for the sharing. Regards...
Thanks for looking
Winged Foot is certainly outstanding and perfectly suited for the event.
Still reliving it!
This brought back some great memories from Monday Mike! Thanks for posting with some of your thoughts and photos... I'm still awed by how routine/easy those guys make the game look. It's really something to be able to tee it up with them, and I thoroughly...
It's great to see you here again Zack!
I really enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you. And it is extra special when I meet a fellow Purist for the first time. I hope you will post a bit more now; you have plenty to add to our discussions! BTW, you really saved us on that 220 yard par 3.....
It's like I never left!
Oh I'm certainly going to be back more often then I have been. If only we had been able to convert a few more of those putts!!! I totally agree that meeting a fellow Purist is always a welcome moment. Really glad that Goly got us paired together. I'll try...

Awesome post
Looks like a great time. Spectacular selection of pieces on display. Hope Goly had an armed guard with her.
Thanks Noah
Goly was indeed busy talking about the spectacular pieces on display. I'm still shocked that I was able to handle the titanium Millenary Minute Repeater. It is quite possibly my single favorite AP creation to date. Hope all is well with you Boss.
I did several double takes to confirm what I was seeing.
The New York Boutique really brought out the heavy hitters for the showcase!
What a fantastic opportunity, Michael.
And what a box full of wonderments from AP. Platinum Chronometer for me, please! That was my favorite in the box. Or was it the SS Royal Oak Tourbillon? :-) Best, CaliforniaJed
Good choices Jed
The platinum ChronAP is superb. It was the first time I had seen it in person. Visually stunning, and a tour de force piece at the same time.
Thanks Manny, glad you enjoyed the post!
I wish I had better photos of this exceptional collection of APs.
AP Golf event
Thanks for the report MichaelC, looks like another nice event with AP. That minute repeater jumping hour looks fantastic. Any more pics? Regards, ED-209
I'll see if I have any others...
The watches were in high demand and were tough to capture!
Great post Michael.
Love that Pt Chronometer. And the RO Tourby. And the Concept. And . . . I'll leave it at that. Very nice watches. Thanks for posting.
Yes, well, we suffer from the same problem then...
Dan in these past few years I have really come to appreciate AP's complicated watches. Definitely a dream to realize, one day...
You got it my Friend
It was really my pleasure to share the pieces with all of you. As I wrote, I had not seen such a grouping like that in one box before.
