It's about damn time, M4!
I have watched you galavant around our other brand forums this past year... Breguet, Montblanc, Rolex, the Independents, etc. All worthy of your eyes and wallet - for sure. But what happened here with AP?
Well, I agree that we need some new motivation.
How about an in-house, integrated chronograph movement for the Royal Oak? Many of us are ready for that. Is AP ready to release it?
I would welcome a newly designed dial for a Millenary chronograph. When I ponder the Millenary line for Men, I think of the 4101 and then I jump straight to high complications that are well out of my league. How about some inbetween offerings? Give me a titanium case, black dial chronograph with some yellow numerals. Openwork part of the dial if you must. This case just screams for new, visually exciting designs.
Last year saw the 4 colored dial offerings of the Royal Oak Offshore Diver chronograph. I'm ready for a regular collection variant... how about silver / white with black subdials? That would excite me.
And I have other more lofty dreams... what are yours?
MichaelC, you got any AP predictions for SIHH???
Not inside info, just gut feel/wishlist stuff. I've been out of AP for some time now and missing the brand in my collection. Hoping for something interesting and AFFORDABLE in 2017! Lay it on me, my friend. M4
There is one watch I would like to see: Starwheel! Or a Jules Audemars manual winding
Chronometer! Best, Nicolas

Here's my wish list . . .
A 15300 reintroduction. I miss the 39mm case and the sweep seconds hand. I'm with you on the RO Chrono with in-house movement, if it's affordable. I'm totally with Nicolas on a manual wind JA. That would jump to the top of my list if it was a simple 3-han...
I reckon we will see a new edition of the RO Supersonnerie...
perhaps a rose gold version. I hope to see something really new and exciting from AP in the new classic collection they are developing.
I think it will be under the sign of ladies' watches...
but we can also some nice surprises for men too! I don't remember when the in-house chronograph movement was supposed to be released, if it is this year or later. Fx
The in-house chronograph movement is to be released in the new classic collection under development.
I don't think we will see this before the end of 2017. I would guess SIHH 2018.
A simpler RO Concept w/basic chronograph and solid dial...
And a list price just shy of 30K for stainless steel or titanium, of course more for ceramic and gold. Or maybe just limit it to steel or titanium for these simpler concept models and reserve ceramic and precious metals for the concept models with complic...
