S F's personal review of the Audemars Piguet [Re]master01 offers a valuable, hands-on perspective on this unique reference. His insights into its wearability, aesthetic nuances, and design choices provide crucial context for collectors considering this vintage-inspired chronograph. This article synthesizes community reactions to S F's observations, highlighting key aspects that resonate with enthusiasts.

It was a lively discussion of the [Re]master01 in a recent fantastic post by quattro_spirit.

A couple of points which I agreed - it is a few mm too thick and a manual movement would have been near perfect.

Otherwise, can't fault this [Re]master based closely on the 1533 (which AP says is not a re-issue) with a nice vintage vibe.

At 40mm with the teardrop lugs, it fits pretty well on an average wrist.

The brushed dial is amazing but legibility is bit affected by the gold hands on the gold toned dial under certain lighting conditions.

Give and take, a pleasant offering from AP.

Watch by Audemars Piguet, AP Limited Edition, ReMaster01

Key Points from the Discussion

The [Re]master01, much like the [Re]master02, often evokes strong 'love it or hate it' reactions upon initial viewing, but can grow on collectors over time.
Audemars Piguet's execution of the [Re]master series represents a significant step forward in their design approach, particularly in honoring vintage aesthetics.
The dial of the [Re]master01 is consistently praised for its amazing quality, though some collectors express a desire for a thinner case and a more aesthetically pleasing rotor.

Two issues here: The thickness, and the automatic movement. A third issue is the price. :)
