Audemars Piguet

SIHH 2017 Novelties now up on Audemars website...

A bit of a mixed bag, and no, the new in-house chronograph isn’t among them.

Say hello to one of the new 26331 20th Anniversary ROCs...

Titanium with Platinum bezel and inter-links/plots.

Also available in orange, yellow, and green.

Full ceramic 44 ROOC, with RG and Titanium bits and bobs.

44mm Titanium ROOC with ceramic bezel. Oh, and some red highlights, so that it isn’t confused as being another Elephant, except wearing a toupée to cover its bald spot.

42mm ROOC in Platinum – yep, including the bracelet! Anything Patek can do, Audemars can do…er, better?…Too?...I don’t know…

Ruthenium dial Royal Oak, with matching colour date wheel, by the looks of it. Other than that, it’s just another 15400.

Thankfully, there’s only 3 of them…well, 9 if you include the other 3 each in orange and, that ‘beautifully eccentric’, green!

The few remaining pieces introduced, you can see for yourself on the website.

I have to digest these . . .

. . . but I see some possibilities. M4

They should change the company name

By: Esharp : January 14th, 2017-18:29

From Audemars Piguet to Royal Oak. There is virtually nothing outside the RO line this year - a few new dial colours in the Jules Audemars line and some diamond-encrusted thingies; that\'s it. It seems that AP is intent on making every possible variation ...

Panda dial chronographs! Just what I wanted to see...

By: logan2z : January 14th, 2017-18:41

Some other beautiful stuff as well. To be honest I'm just as happy that they stuck with the F. Piguet for now, assuming prices stay where they are - or are reduced

I am happy for you!

By: MichaelC : January 15th, 2017-07:54

I really like the new dials more than the existing 41mm ROC dials.

Thanks, I prefer them too

By: logan2z : January 15th, 2017-07:59

I think the updated layout and new color schemes have added a lot of interest to the dials and I think AP has done a great job here. Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Definitely not everything, but thanks for being our town crier.

By: MichaelC : January 14th, 2017-19:39

Saves me a lot of work

Some colours and metal, so nothing new.

By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : January 15th, 2017-00:40

I don't like neeither 15400 nor 26320, the date is almost in the middle of the dial. Proportion's balance is still lacking and it will always be. I'm not expecting something real interesting, except some turbo (tourbillon for friends) or other complicated...

That's an exaggeration...

By: logan2z : January 15th, 2017-07:42

...about the date window placement. I assume you had the same complaint about the previous model because I don't see much difference in the placement on this new model. Here's the old one for comparison. Aside from it being slightly less centered between ...

I don't have to convince anybody

By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : January 15th, 2017-08:12

There are people who like the RO 15400, so to each his own

Shame about the diver...

By: Tony-GB : January 15th, 2017-01:13

...why can't it just be a blue dial without the coloured accents and minute hand? Nearly there but not quite. Thank you for posting this.

Looks like it is going to be one of those years.

By: JerryW : January 15th, 2017-06:57

No must haves to add to my list.

Jerry - I thought this one might grab you?

By: MichaelC : January 15th, 2017-07:56

...

That certainly helps.

By: JerryW : January 15th, 2017-09:32

Thanks for the uplift MichaelC. Just wish it was 39 mm! It is cool, hope they also make a WG version.

How about titanium my friend?

By: MichaelC : January 15th, 2017-10:01

This might make the 44mm case more manageable. ...

That's beautiful

By: logan2z : January 15th, 2017-10:09

I'm not usually a fan of openworked dials because they can significantly impact legibility, but this one is really beautiful.

Very cool.

By: JerryW : January 15th, 2017-13:16

Now I am reading that the new Tourbillon Extra-Thin and the new ROC with be boutique only. Kind of tough on the dealers who invest in special spaces to sell AP.

Boutique ROC

By: logan2z : January 15th, 2017-15:17

My understanding is that only the Ti/Pt ROC will be boutique only. The rest will be available through ADs. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I also like the new AP Royal Oak Frosted Gold for women too

By: AnthonyTsai : January 15th, 2017-17:03

This new AP Royal Oak Frosted Gold comes in 37mm & 33mm for ladies. My guess is next year at SIHH 2018, we'll see these available in larger Royal Oak sizes for men? This frosted finish totally caught me off guard. I never thought of this kind of RO va...

Oh yeah, and the frosting seems like it will greatly reduce the effects of minor scratches, especially on the bezel.

By: vitalsigns : January 15th, 2017-17:45

At least that\'s my hope...

I posted on this collection a few months ago.

By: MichaelC : January 16th, 2017-08:34

It was debuted in Florence, Italy. Very stunning, I think these watches will be highly popular with their target market! ...

From the yellow Diver to this one.

By: BABKA : January 16th, 2017-13:04

Pure eye candy. They keep getting better and better! Thanks for sharing!

This may be the first real photo of the panda ROC I've seen so far...

I think that looks great. [nt]

Me too! [nt]
