Indeed! Sothebys has a pair of PP 3939
Of those two the platinum 3939 sounds more dreamy than the YG3939. FWIW, chk
Old-school perpetual calendar. New acquisition.
ABP strap on the way. This is my first QP, a much-neglected Edward Piguet , born in the early 1990s. The perpetual calendar is now appealing to me. SLow-down time. ...
Thanks! Indeed off the beaten path as evidenced by its sale listing
Even the vendor (an international auction house) couldn't be bothered with putting the reference in the catalogue listing, and got the case size wrong. The watch, however, speaks for itself. Good day, chk
Thank you for the compliment! But what do I know:
Nowadays hot steel watches are priced quite a lot higher than even good gold watches... chk
A watch buddy has mentioned the Tank Basculante.
It too is rectangular and neglected. Chk
Such a lovely piece....
It's hard to believe that all these beautiful dress AP are so under appreciated, they deserve much much more attention. Congrats on this lovely pick up! Sam
Yes! But the new AP movements are all so big that
I don't suppose anything would fit in the narrow side of a rectangular case....
Old APs can be attractive
However I dread to see its service bill, when the time comes. Thank you for the note, chk
Wow!...great to see a rectangular AP PC...
...it's not old school, it's classed elegance. Beautiful.
Thank you for the note; the Lange Caberet is another good candidate for elegance.
It even has a form movement. Enjoy, chk
I am a big fan of non-round cases...
...although it's rare to get a shaped movement like in the stunning Cabaret. The Arkade is another rarely seen ALS beauty.
I visited Sothebys HKG watch auction viewing today
There is a fully pavé-d white gold black dial Lange Caberet. The watch is brilliant (pun intended). Chk
Was just looking at that site and the Christie's HK auction...
...I know the estimates are low to encourage bidding, but they really do make you think you can get a good deal. Btw, the Patek repeaters on the Christie's site have sound files if anyone is interested. Amazing how the sound varies even within the same re...

Indeed. The OR25853 so far has been quite accurate too. Its crown is not too small. Turns well.
Thank you for writing. Chk
Super!! Good to see an Edward Piguet here.
I would go crazy to see AP release a new version. It's long past time!
Unlikely. I struggle to think how a new small rectangular QP would sell.
Even I wouldn't approve of such a proposal. Chk
Thanks! I am still in the honeymoon period.
Let's see how long that feeling will last. Chk
This is wonderful
AP has become such a one trick pony with the Royal Oak that it's good to remember that they once had the inspiration to come up with such nice pieces.
Well, the AP RO is one great trick!
But AP holds other attractions too. Have you heard their new minute repeaters? Awesome awesome.
Because the Code 1159 is not an Royal Oak?
And, as far as I could tell, the code 1159 generally sells pretty well. Aesthetically, the Bolshoi edition is growing on me. Chk
