NWA! Just arrived. It was the one watch that really grabbed me when I went to Le Brassus to see the

recent new AP introductions. This is the 200 piece limited edition Royal Oak Ultra Thin Perpetual calendar. Itโ€™s made in all titanium so extremely lightweight and oh so very thin. A technological marvel. The dial is a really lovely slate blue that is grad...  

Outstanding new acquisition, Ed, congratulations! Your collection grows ever more impressive!

BTW - your title made me chuckle. I donโ€™t think NWA means what you think it means. Youโ€™d need to ice out that bezel and really bring the bling before it gets NWA approval ๐Ÿ˜€

I know you didnโ€™t, Edโ€ฆ

But I was picturing you wearing a big gold chain and a baseball cap spitting some gangsta rap, and that made me smile. I mean, not that you couldnโ€™t pull that off if you wanted toโ€ฆ.. ๐Ÿ˜€

Wait a minuteโ€ฆI thought you were saying to reduce and slow down the collecting ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thatโ€™s a stunning and superb watch but why am I not surprised you will get it ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป Big congratulations ๐Ÿพ

I'll take that as a compliment from a fellow coolster : )

...I've been trying to convince my buddy to put in for one of these, but so far he's 'only' managed a 15510 which I'll be seeing tomorrow...

The 15510 is a fabulous watch. The proportions

The complication, the design, the dial,, the detail, the metal, everything is perfect.

Remarkably thin๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

I wonder how you feel about the smooth/flat dial in comparison to the usual RO dial texture? Regardless, this piece is a fan favorite, so congratulations on be allocated one.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ

Great question, Armis. I donโ€™t mind the flat dial

 
By: Chicolini : May 21st, 2023-17:41
on this at all. Itโ€™s the only AP royal oak I have that is flat and not tapisserie. But I think that really a tapisserie dial on this watch would make it look far too busy. Plus the color is amazing.

Agreed. The difference from the others is niceโ€ฆ

and it would be too busy otherwise. Here, the color gradient accounts for a lot! Excellent addition ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

The entire watch is 6.2 mm. That compares to the

Royal Oak Jumbo at 8.1 also called an โ€œultra thin.โ€ The amazing (to me anyway) thing is that itโ€™s almost 2mm thinner yet has a perpetual calendar complication. Wow.

Really great

I love the combination of perpetual (typically a dress style complication) and sporty with the RO and Ti construction. Nice addition ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Fantastic congratulations - absolute drool....

This is such a masterpiece from many angles - enjoy it's thinness to the fullest Super congratulations and please post more photos and experiences when you get a chance!! Peter

Hi and thank you! Iโ€™ll be happy to

 
By: Chicolini : May 21st, 2023-17:42
post more photos as I begin to live with it. Thanks for your very kind and enthusiastic comments.

Wow that indeed is ultra thin which is a great quality IMO

 
By: ChristianDK : May 21st, 2023-06:14
And thin titanium must make it even more wearable and pleasing on the wrist. I can certainly understand why it got your attention. I would have done the same given the opportunity. Huge congratulations Eddy. Itโ€™s super nice.

Iโ€™m sure the Octo is also a marvel.

 
By: Chicolini : May 21st, 2023-17:45
Iโ€™ve not seen it but this one is very nice I think. There are so many lovely timepieces out there. Thanks so much.

Such an exceptional watch!

Huge congratulations! This was by far my favorite of the new additions. As beautiful as it is remarkable. Enjoy it in great health.
