Thoughts on AP skeleton watches...
Being a previous owner of the 15305 ,current owner of the qp skeleton and great admirer of ap openwork/ skeleton watches,I must say that I admire the diversity of each reference.
In this case the platinum version did not capture me much,I found for once, that the 3120 movement was superior than the 2121 when treated as a skeleton caliber.
I really liked the open spaces of the 15305 ,not so much the density of the 2121 movement.
But.... This rose gold version is awesome, I really like it, I was always tempted by a rg ro,as a guilty pleasure,an overstatement ....I considered the 15202 in rg....something voluptuous about a rg ro...
I own a skeletonised version of the 2120 caliber,skeletonised in a very"classical " manner,very flourish ....event with a module on top it's hard to beat...and suits the super clean design of the ro so well...
In this case the openwork display is in a more modern interpretation,very close to the one of the 15305(why do you see it more traditional?)
I am looking forward to seeing it live sometimes soon.
Thanks in the meantime for the sublime pictures..

Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin pink gold
One of Audemars Piguet's newest watches from SIHH 2014 that we have not discussed much is the Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin in 18-carat pink gold. I was fortunate enough to handle this new Royal Oak recently and it is astounding. Let's have a closer loo...
Great Review and Pics..
Like yourself I also love this watch, its so elegant and well finished. S
I stil have the stainless steel former model, and prefer its 40 mm case.
But I agree that a skeleton Royal Oak is something to see! Thanks for the nice report, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Part of what is so alluring to me
is the openworked movement inside the case I am so familiar with.
Yes, I listed this above in my reply.
For a moment I thought I accidentally listed it as 40mm. Thanks, Nicolas.
i have to agree with Nico...
...but date wheel is really something! awesome watch. best, chris

Appreciate your input Mo.
You state it correctly, the skeletal 2121 is much more dense than the 3120. In this regard, "openworked" probably applies better to the 15305. And that is what I prefer about the 2121 - it is more opaque and not see through. I do see its shapes as more co...
Nothing better than a RG Royal Oak with the awesome AP bracelet.
The openworked adds a bit more intrigue, just more going on than the 15202. Thanks for the review MichaelC. JerryW
My pleasure to share.
I was fortunate enough to see it in person and wanted to share my thoughts with everyone here.
Wonderful sharing, Michael...
" and if I can ever afford it, I will own this watch." My exact sentiment :) Thanks for this post!
Hi Wayne, thanks for checking out the article.
Perhaps you have seen it in person as well, definitely a special watch. Hope all is well your way Friend.
Great review and pics
Great review and pics of the openworked extra-thin. Looks great in pink gold. You bring up an interesting point about the skeletonized work and how it is not as see-through as other versions. I can't wait to see this one hopefully soon. Regards, ED-209
It might be a minor detail for most.
But for me, I prefer not to see much of my wrist through the watch. Thanks for reading the article ED209!
