Peter (pfang56) shares an intimate look at a significant acquisition: the Audemars Piguet 34mm Royal Oak Ceramic, presented as a 20th-anniversary gift for his wife. His post not only showcases the watch's exquisite finishing and design but also opens a broader conversation about shared passions and the evolving landscape of luxury timepieces for women. Peter's initial thoughts and stunning photography invite readers to appreciate this elegant, understated piece and consider its potential impact on the market.

Earlier this week we got an incredible surprise from AP about the arrival of a special piece - the new 34mm Royal Oak Ceramic. Sadly this one is not for me but for my better half as an early 20th anniversary gift smile It was a complete and utter shock that we received the call for this one - and sometimes wishes really come true! Many thanks to AP for making this happen. 

Some initial thoughts - the finishing is just as superb as the perpetual (shown below). The dial is definitely much darker (more black than grey) but the rose gold indices and bezel screws really stand out. It's a real elegant, understated, but incredible piece that I think will get a ton of wear with my wife, and kudos to AP for really spending time to create excellent and exciting pieces for the better half smile 

Now...can you imagine this in 39mm?? No seconds hand? White gold indices instead of rose gold? Mind completely blown!!! 

Cheers

Peter

And then my wife said strongly - “that watch is too small for you…” and after they removed 4 links my dream was over…I can’t event put this over four fingers so all I can do is ask her to wear it more often Oh well, I get to live vicariously through my wife!!! Cheers Peter

These summer days ceramic feels really nice on the skin being lightweight and cool to the touch! Peter

As I’m getting older and our marriage is getting longer - I’m learning to ensure there is some equality and cohesion with our hobbies. I’ve been lucky to have someone who is willing to let me acquire things that I enjoy, but maybe she is doing that because she recognizes that there is some reciprocity in the end Still trying to catchup on her purse and jewelry habit though…thankfully and hopefully many more years to come Cheers Peter
