Audemars Piguet

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!

 

Hi Guys!!!

Feels great to receive such warm and sincere welcome from so many of you...really appreciate it guys!

I've only started collecting limited edition AP watches early last year and have not purchased any boutique limited edition nor country themed limited edition AP watches (e.g. Pride of Siam). Somehow I don't find these series of AP limited edition watches desirable.......perhaps someone can enlighten me otherwise?

My very first AP watch was a Shaq O'Neil and my favourite (which should surprise many) is the Grand Prix Rose Gold cos it really looks good on my wrist.

I am adamant on purchasing a few more AP pieces to add to my current collection and they are, RB1, End of Days and Sebastian Buemi. Just managed to purchase a Jarno Trulli from a distributor in Singapore yesterday. Any one care to suggest what other models I should add to my collection?

I am also getting my watches photographed individually by a professional within the next few weeks and will post them once they are done.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys more!

Cheers!

Jeff

Welcome. It is always good to see first-time posts of this nature. You clearly have a great passion for AP and as such will be very welcome here. Collecting of this nature is admirable.....I look forward to seeing more of your posts.....why you went for s... 

Amazing!

OMG! Your collections are simply stunning! You should have put up a warning signs like "view at your own risks" because I almost fall off my bed after viewing your collections! I would says at any point your AP collections are more then any AD's inventory...

Obviously you had made quite a debut! I would enjoy hearing some personal thoughts as to favorite pieces and which ones you enjoy wearing the most. I have tried on that diamond encrusted T3 and I adore it! Thanks for posting the photos.

Welcome to the club

That's an amazing collection. Welcome and looking forward to reading more of how you started and are going on this journey. Richard

Welcome!

And congrats on an excellent collection! Maybe RB2 Titanium needs to be added alongside your rose gold 2 and 3 models? Maybe also one of the Restivo Perpetual Calendar Chronographs too?

It would be safer to warn us...

.... 1st before throwing such a collection at us! :) great collection, i loved the idea of having the 2 RB2 Rg. The concept sits like a queen among the crown. Now i hope you will post your Patek collection. Welcome here, and wear them all in good health

Amazing collection you have!!

It's a fun project!

As I mentioned before, you do need the RB2 in titanium I feel. Survivor possibly? I would refer to the excellent Royal Oak Club website for the full database - that may give you other ideas.

Sorry.......

 
By: Conkers : June 9th, 2014-05:06
......Survivor was in your list, but not in the photo. There also appears to be a four subdial one to the left of the Concept - what is that one please? Maybe my eye-sight is just failing.

Fabulous AP's you have there! Adding a rose gold Rubberclad would add diversity to your collection IMO :) Cheers, Anthony

Unfortunately my focus is still on limited or special edition watches and unless it is unique (in my case the white ceramic novelty), I would normally pass on normal production models. Thanks for the suggestion anyway! Appreciate it. Jeff

impressive

Wow what a great line up you have, looking forward to the Pro photos.

Very impressive

Your AP collection is the best I've seen. Congratulations. And there's nothing "small" about your Patek collection. Waiting for the "pro" photos. How did your collection evolve? You started by which brand? When? How do you compare Patek and AP? Tell us mo... 

AP vs Patek

 
By: cwyjeff : June 17th, 2014-00:54
My own general take on AP and Patek watches.......please note that I've only started collecting watches in less than 2 years and therefore should not be taken as an expert opinion. AP watches are larger sized (average 44mm) and are more sporty in nature. ...
