His and hers...

Earlier this week we got an incredible surprise from AP about the arrival of a special piece - the new 34mm Royal Oak Ceramic. Sadly this one is not for me but for my better half as an early 20th anniversary gift smile It was a complete and utter shock that we received the call for this one - and sometimes wishes really come true! Many thanks to AP for making this happen. 

Some initial thoughts - the finishing is just as superb as the perpetual (shown below). The dial is definitely much darker (more black than grey) but the rose gold indices and bezel screws really stand out. It's a real elegant, understated, but incredible piece that I think will get a ton of wear with my wife, and kudos to AP for really spending time to create excellent and exciting pieces for the better half smile 

Now...can you imagine this in 39mm?? No seconds hand? White gold indices instead of rose gold? Mind completely blown!!! 

Cheers

Peter

These summer days ceramic feels really nice on the skin being lightweight and cool to the touch! Peter

As I’m getting older and our marriage is getting longer - I’m learning to ensure there is some equality and cohesion with our hobbies. I’ve been lucky to have someone who is willing to let me acquire things that I enjoy, but maybe she is doing that becaus... 

Happy to take any advice you’ve got. Lots of us here are in the same predicament.

I’m hoping there are more pairings in the future. Peter

Yes that’s probably the most important rule in life…

Without a supportive spouse, there is probably no way we can be successful in good times and in bad. I’m normally a traveler for work so this pandemic has completely changed how we live with each other! I think I will miss this time for certain… Thanks fo... 

Huge congrats!

Amazing duo! Wear it in best health. EM

I heard some feedback that getting more than one ceramic piece was difficult..

But since receiving the first ceramic I’ve always been consistent with my wishlist to be “anything ceramic”, and so dreams and wishes sometime come true. Cheers Peter
