I am not usually a fan of Royal Oak Offshore
or skeletonized watches but I really like this watch. It is very attractive, amazingly finished, and the minute repeater sounds great. I also respect AP for choosing a titanium case for such a high end watch over a precious metal due to the fact they believe it improves the sound of the repeater ( as they also did with the recent millenary repeater ). A lot of manufactures would go with only a gold or platinum case just because it is a high end watch even if it diminishes the sound of the repeater. I would love to have a chance to put my hands on this watch rather than just see it in pictures. Thanks for the report and pictures.

Pretty good video with the sound
Thanks Michael for the writeup on this AP complication. Can't wait to see and hear it in person. And thanks Patrick for the video, it sounds pretty good. Regards, ED-209
Indeed. Excellent sound!
Excellent tone and volume. I liked the speed too, if we're critical it could be a tad faster but I truly think AP did a great job on this piece and I'm impressed that repeater worked so well in such a sporty case. This may be the first sports watch minute...
That is a watch I will have to see in the real, and to hear!
Thanks for the nice article, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Michael...
...on one hand I thank you for posting this. This piece is sublime & an absolute joy. On the other I do not, because I know I'll never own one. But congratulations to Audemars Piguet & all future owners/keepers. Thanks Michael.

true grand complication
The layout is so crazy, only AP Papi can possibly combine all these complications together so elegantly, even with a rotor!!!
