That is a very nice AP, did not know it

Going out for formal dinner with this one and stopping before that at my AD to check out the new 5712/1R

Super nice Minverva my friend. The 5712/1R is a stunner, already saw it in Geneva 😉. As for this AP, see the link below when I first posted and explained what it is (best to read the entire thread if you have time 😉)...

I had no idea that AP even made pieces like this!

I thought that may be a Breguet until I zoomed in. Wow. For me, I just got this one out of the safe since the new strap I had requested just came in. I still need to set it correctly and give it some wrist time.

Cool RM bro. As for this AP, it is what AP is capable of doing. The movement was done by APRP and one of their absolute BEST modern movements IMHO. See the link below...

Best to read the entire thread if you have time as it explains this piece nicely 😉 www.watchprosite.com

Never seen this piece before

And it really showcases haute horology by AP. I too wish they reintroduced some of their non RO pieces back into the fold. Maybe applying the complications and dial lay out to Code would be a home run! Thank you for showing me this extraordinary piece mate! Wear it in good health!
