Thanks to sales manager Vincent and store manager Jacky, cool pieces were presented to me to douse the horological fire 🔥!

The Code PC is quite stylish with this new color scheme. The new grey dial Code in steel is also quite nice but I am biased toward my green. Overall I applaud AP for its steadfastness in investing and improving in this line. The continuous shift in designs and increases in complications have been impressive.

The RO PC with the new movement using the crown to adjust all functions is a game changer. The sand gold has a great heft and the steel has a beautiful blue dial. I was in love and started dreaming

Hopefully next time some limited editions can be inspected.

In the metal ROO has a luscious dark green color and the black ceramic case is a good combination with lots of wrist presence.

The diamond code is very bright and apparently some gentlemen like it very much !

What do you think of the new pieces ?

Lovely gray

Prefer my green

Sparking with rainbow 🌈 coming through

The strap is excellent, similar to Remaster

Comfortable strap

Looks great in the metal👍

Key Points from the Discussion

The new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar's movement, adjustable via the crown, is considered a significant innovation, potentially setting a new standard for the industry.
While some find the new PC's 24-hour indicator and date numeral layout (specifically '7 8') aesthetically disruptive, others appreciate the thoughtful integration of the 24-hour indication and improved legibility compared to previous designs.
The Audemars Piguet Code PC's new color schemes and continuous design evolution are praised, with the grey dial in steel and the 150th anniversary Code PC being particularly noted.
The Royal Oak Offshore in dark green with a black ceramic case is highlighted for its luscious color and strong wrist presence, looking exceptionally good in person.
The 'sand gold' Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is noted for its impressive heft, while the steel version with a blue dial is also highly admired.
The diamond-set Code model is described as very bright and appealing to some gentlemen, showcasing AP's diverse aesthetic offerings.

My heart is with the Code Perpetual.

The others are just the same… Yes, I know, different movement and adjustment from the crown, but still… Thank you for the photos!
