Audemars Piguet

Great year for AP

 

Even though I have mixed feelings about the RO collection:

1)newJumbo is very nice

2)41mm RO is gonna be very popular,even though its hard to imagine anything different from the 39 15300

3)I don t like the layout and the look of the skeletonized 15202,its too busy and cluttered even though the finish is sublime.

4)Excellent the work on the tourbillon skeleton,but the normal version is quite unpleasant to my eyes,a bad example of a hole in the dial.

5)Why on earth a brand like AP is still putting that ugly date at 4 on the chrono?

King of the collection the new Chrono in rose gold,I share your feelings FX,one of the best of SIHH,just amazing!

Thank you for the pics and report.

SIHH 2012: Audemars Piguet

 
By: foversta : February 5th, 2012-08:33
Without any surprise, the SIHH 2012 collection from AP was mainly focussed on the Royal Oak. And it was true fireworks to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic watch. From simple in SS to complicated in Platinum, AP offered us a wide range of new m...  

Great report Francois. I find your sentiments spot on.

The revised 15202, a wonderful nod to the original. I am happy to find the favorable opinion on the new clasp. I also like the date wheel having a darker color. The new Royal Oak Chrono... I am not so convinced with this one, but believe it will be nicer ... 

Thanks a lot Michael for your input!

You are right, it is always difficult to have an accurate point of view only with pics, nothing is as reliable than real life! Fx

Thanks for the photos

I tried once 15300, but the bracelet/lug floated from the edge of my wrist and gave up on it. Seems like 15202 may fit well, or at least better. It will be on my list for late this year or early next.... Thanks for summing up! Good solid collection, AP. K... 

Thanks Ken!

FX, Thanks for sharing your observations. As Michael C points out, showing the the three ROs side by side was helpful. The RO tends be come across bigger than the stated size, so the 41mm version may be a bit big for those of us with smaller wrists. The 3... 

Thanks Dave !

Yes the 37mm was for me a surprise. The size remains very reasonable even for my wrist (I was a bit afraid to fnd it too small) and movement perfectly suits the case. Don't hesitate to post your comments when you will be able to test it! Thanks! Fx
