now it does seem like PP front-ran them and twisted APs arm to come up with something anew for the 50th. Though PP hasn't announced a successor just discontinuation afaik.
So the 15202 st will be discontinued next year
And a new reference will substitute it
Not surprised. In fact, this goes back many years.
I have posted it numerous times, AP plans out 5-10 years in advance. Long live the reference... ...
Excited about any āreplacementā
Incredible run! Great to also see we can retrofit the watches with the new quick-release strap system. Wonder if this will apply to Gold and Titanium models? Also good that they dispelled the rather horrible photoshopped Iron Man Royal Oak thatās been cir...
No surprise here...
Not sure why everyone is acting like this was a shocking development today. 50th anniversary of the Royal oak is in 2022! AP has a ton up their sleeve I'm sure..
Oh they did? All the more reason for AP to step up. But I still find it very interesting that PP discontinued 5711 first. This gives PP a longer runway to come up with a succesor while AP only has 6-8mos to introduce it..
...hopefully AP had a two hand calibre they were toying around with.
If AP replaces caliber 2121, the new 15202 is ādeadā ...
... it is also this original RO caliber 2121, which makes the 15202 so special. The caliber of the PP5711 is boring compared to that. But I canāt imagine that AP would do such a drastic mistake.
