Thanks MichaelC!
And totally agree with your assessment. AP does the best with ceramic especially in black, but this new special colour experimentation shows how they will probably continue this exploration and mastery in other colour palettes.
I will say describing this like rich milk chocolate is definitely one way to describe it - from one angle. Then when the finishing takes over, it shimmers at certain angles. Not many ceramics can do that uniformly.
Cheers

Ok...got to see the new collaboration...
And I do think it\'s an incredibly well-designed, elevated, and superlative timepiece with tasteful details throughout the watch. I had to bring its black ceramic sibling to the comparison, and while they share a similar movement, there are some really sp...
Both are incredibly special...
I will say I heard the Cactus Jack piece has a bespoke box - and it could sway my interest. I have a closet full of green boxes of all shapes and sizes and have no idea which box goes with what watch. Pffft. Peter
No problem
Figure it might be of some interest to fellow collectors. Anyway if this was my first openworked, I would not hesitate at all! Peter
definitely the black for me...I don't really like the brown but I am sure that they will sell out quickly
I would ❤️ the spider man 🕷️ Like Ed Sheeran and John Mayer, what a boss piece !
Probably have a list longer than the availability...
If anything I am assuming that there will be some production of openworked 5135 Calibres dedicated to this series, which must be taking from an already limited production in other series. Anyway just impressive to deliver this level of customization! Chee...
Great work, Peter.
Definite preference on your black watch. There is something so unique about an all ceramic Royal Oak. Sure, every brand offers black ceramic, but AP does it the very best, IMO. Appreciate the comparison!!
Thanks MichaelC!

Thanks Peter. This is probably the nicest collaboration in recent years.
Of the 2, I prefer yours. 🥂🥂🥂
Thanks much!
I agree that it's a really strong collaboration - and while I do prefer the black one, I think a lot of work and engineering and craftsmanship was needed to make this new piece. Wouldn't be surprised if this was first a piece unique requested by TS then e...
Thank you for showing Peter!
It is of course the black one for me too! I would rather wish it was with a ceramic bracelet and that they toned down the quirky dial but then it would not have been the watch that Travis Scott wanted. I still very much like seeing AP producing more ceram...
Me too...
I am super hopeful that AP does a red ceramic, which I understand is incredibly hard. Knowing they have black, blue, green, brown, and white - I hope they can find a way! Peter
On first photos the new brownish AP looked pleasant but
on this photo it reminds me of some sort of brown bakelite.
My photos are not ideal...
But with the finishing, it could be matte or polished depending on the angle. Peter
AP ventures into more colors.
Thank you for the excellent ceramic case comparison. The brown ceramic case is definitely new and exciting but most leading watchmakers have avoided colorful materials. The exception is RM, who has done incredible well with new and colorful materials. The...
