It’s with this AP Huitième Chronograph ref. 25644TR that, while browsing on C24 a few years ago, I discovered the existence of tantalum. And even if I’m not fond of the branding on the bezel (nor of the white date disc), I was, and still am, really drawn to this timepiece. I love the mix of grey tantalum and rose gold, the dial layout and case shape. Something here is almost perfect for me and I keep having this watch in the back of my mind.


This model was also made with a salmon dial, but I find it far less attractive (the salmon dial ruins it for me).

Best to you all.
