Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 39MM Openworked 💀skeleton 6 years later
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 39MM Openworked has been in my collection for 6 years. So many things changed (especially at Audemars Piguet..back then they did want to sell watches 😁). I didn't wear tihis was recently but I decided to take out of the vault...
What an excellent classic, just perfect 👍🏼
Did this originally come on leather strap, or did you switch out the bracelet?

This one will always be superb
You can't get a better Royal Oak, IMO. Great to see it back on the wrist!
True!
It's still high even now. But... the pandemonium out there right now... makes everything we bought a few years back look cheap.
Beautiful and a timeless classic imho
Wear it more often when possible. We die once but live every day 😉
well said, will wear it more !
the issue is always with the current bubble APs can be a bit flashy (and in some places even dangerous)
I tried this on nearly ten years ago
Perfect proportions, and I always liked this skeleton over the newer 41mm one. I still think of it often!! ...
10 yeears wow!
I am sure back then they wanted to sell it and move ! was not super popular but made in limited numbers. New skeleton started at an higher price/size so I was glad to get one of the last 39mm
Aaah, the good old days
When availability was not an issue, just the emptiness of your wallet!! I was also fortunate to try out this special piece. I feel the early 2010s was a bit of a golden era for AP in recent times, there were many many great pieces. ...
Here you go!
Watches such as these always made the Jules Audemars line a favourite line for me out of all the brands. ...
wow thanks for sharing 👏 indeed in 2012-3-4-5
almost all was available on the spot. I even asked in the forum if I should get the skeleton, to some was too expensive but now is a different world...glad I got it!
thank you 👏also for the compliments about the outfit
always do my best to look...my best
There's a "nice" scar
Of course you had been extremely disappointed when it has occurred, but that's the evidence you wear your watches and don't keep them into a safe (though any RO can no longer be worn easily and safely)
haha 😁great that you noticed the scar !
It actually happened early one when I bought the watch..with a wall or a door! but it became part of the watch! In fairness the recent price explosions 💥made me leave it in the safe ..for too long! Zürich is pretty safe ..or at least the places I visit so...
