Swimming with the fishes...

Really pleased and thrilled to get this new AP - the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Titanium with Salmon Dial. I will post additional impressions later on, but I'm just blown away with this combination of materials, movement, and of course magnificence from the dial.

It's really crazy - when it rains it pours - I had a bit of a dry spell prior to December, and then now three crazy pieces in two months.

Anyway, as a put a third mortgage on my house, eat ramen for two years, and walk to work, I am at least surrounded by beautiful timepieces.

Will share more later - but really excited to share!

Cheers

Peter

What a watch! I normally am not a big RO fan. This is Exquisite!

I had look at a Patek Salmon 5270P...

And yet I still landed with AP. Maybe one day! Salmon dial has a special colour which I believe has longevity... Cheers Peter

Oh my

That is just perfection; an absolute grail watch! APs with perpetual calenders are second to none. And a salmon dial - holy smokes. I must ask you how you achieved this drop dead glorious Audemars Piguet!? How many time watches did it take before you were... 

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and passion!

 
 By: pfang56 : February 16th, 2022-19:55
I believe we definitely share a similar level of passion, in fact I would say you have a lot more than I do! I guess I have been lucky to collect AP for 20 years now, and in the last few years have been extraordinary lucky to build a relationship with a n...  

Thank you for showing this magnificent piece!

We just might share the same passion indeed! Im completely new in the Audemars Piguet watch family but I am borderline addicted; collecting catalogues now too. On my first visit to the boutique I was offered two watches, plus one lady and a code, I turned... 

Quite kind of you..

There is something quite special with any AP RO Perpetual, which I believe was the first sport perpetual calendar, released right after the G-Shock Be patient, be passionate, be persistent, and be positive - I'm sure you will get everything you wish!! Che... 

Best value for money...

Thanks for your feedback Maybe the soup base can match the Salmon dial...as a consolation. Cheers Peter

Congrats, my friend. Enjoy.

Gorgeous AP . Love that salmon dial 😍👌🏻

Is Salmon the old Green?

 
 By: pfang56 : February 17th, 2022-13:19
I think Salmon is Salmon.. Cheers Peter

Congratulation - what a beauty

Magnificent, Peter!

HUGE congratulations for this one! I am unfortunately unable to read the displays on these watches without glasses, but I have long admired the classic layout with the subdials. How gorgeous is this watch with the all salmon dial. I wish you nothing but t... 

Many thanks Michael!!

I also long too for better eyesight to appreciate these novel dials. Ironic that when I had good vision, I enjoyed Panerai and oversized numbers - and these days I'm appreciating AP models with petite tapisserie, multiple dials and complications, and some... 

Another similarity for us!

 
 By: MichaelC : February 20th, 2022-17:47
I engaged Panerai heavily 20 years ago... when I could read any watch dial from any distance. And my 372 is certainly one I still read just fine! The details on the 41mm titanium perpetual are so cool. I love that you enjoy them so much. Over the years, I... 

Indeed. I think I saw you engage on P.com?

 
 By: pfang56 : February 20th, 2022-20:14
And, I have my PAM 372 and still have my PAM195. Good times. Take care and have a good week! Peter

Many, many years ago!

I in fact have the very first agenda ever signed by Angelo Bonati. I don't remember if he did 100 or 200 for the P crowd, but #001 is here somewhere! Have a greAP week as well ;-)

Ha!!

I think I might have lost mine...I do remember the inscription - "with passion" from AB...the good old days.. Cheers Peter

Yes, that's it!

 
 By: MichaelC : February 23rd, 2022-02:59

Aaaah, the good old times!

 
 By: amanico : February 20th, 2022-21:38

Indeed. Passion for the brand was incredible..

 
 By: pfang56 : February 22nd, 2022-15:29
But my pockets were much smaller back then. I had one AP and just a few Panerai, but I had to constantly trade up instead of keep. Now super fortunate to enjoy more and appreciate more. Peter

Absolutely gorgeous ….
