A re edition of the coolest AP ever made, the Star Wheel, would not only be an instant success, but it would make the brand less reliant on the Royal Oak than it is right now. They should keep it as a permanent collection, offering different case sizes, materials and dials.

This model is one of the most beautiful timepieces ever designed. Why let it sit in the shadow of the Royal Oak?

Agree!!! I’ve always wanted to see one of these in the metal.

I believe they also made a more “modern” looking version of the Star Wheel, the name of which escapes me.

They did, it's the Millenary Star Wheel

But I'd rather see a reissue of the original, since it's my all time grail. It could be executed in a grey ceramic case for example, something alien-like, urwerk but slightly more classical.

Yes, that’s it. I’ve only seen pictures but like what I’ve seen of both.

The version you’ve come up with sounds very, very cool.

I am a big fan of the Starwheel, Millenary or not. One of my favorite modern AP.

Gorgeous!

I am more of a fan of the original, but this version is fantastic too. AP is sitting on another icon.
