These would be spectacular references if not for the dials. I am unable to get on with dials that have arbitrary fade from color to black. Such a fade should occur in a subtle manner if proper materials are used, not painted on like an Instagram filter

In such an inelegant way. Chopard and Longines would use tacky artificial fades like this, not something I would expect from Audemars Piguet. The creative director is really making it difficult for me to continue with the brand, similar to what’s going on right now at Bottega Veneta.
Unfortunately, my AP boutique will probably make me buy one of these before offering any of the other pieces I’m interested in, so my AP collecting days are numbered and I’m down to just one AP left in my collection (15400 blue dial).

The two-tone version is subtly beautiful

I like it too. Have been trying to find more reviews of this two-tone piece but cannot seem to find much yet. I will go look at it in the boutique one day.
Blue & Silver Chrono for me

I would like to spice up the collection as well and would add the purple dial. The movements look enticing! Thanks for sharing

I must admit that I always liked the Code 11:59 but as many others found the dial side a bit underwhelming. These fume dials are however beautiful and give the watch a complete different look. Especially the red and black(or grey?) dials are really cool. ...
Nice colour combo...

But unfortunately it does not entirely removed the flaw of the dial design
Yay, They have listened !!!!

Now I really like the watch and it is one of my fav now!!!!!!! They could change the hands but that is not too bad!
A step in the right direction, in my personal opinion.

If AP can fix the design of the hands and numerals/indices and finally apply proper hand-finishing to the movement, I might be tempted to include them into a newly formed "Tetraktys", which would include PP, VC, ALS and AP.
I have always loved two-tone combos...

...these are very nice. Someday I hope to see a 'real' one. My Rolex AD carries a lot of brands (PP, ALS, etc.) but not AP : (
Moser's influence is undeniable...

I am happiest for Moser actually! The date at 4:30 is unfortunate... it may look better in person... I LIKE A DATE on a watch... but at 4:30 is generally yuck... Zenith and Blancpain make it work somehow... just like Lange and GO make the big date work (t...
