Not exactly true, there were three watches but we only talked about one. The masterful RQ, in a beautiful combination of rose on rose. The summary of the afternoon might be; if one could actually order and receive one of these watches in a reasonable time...
I agree completely with your assessment. In hand, this watch is mind boggling impressive. It’s difficult to get out of your mind once you have seen it. I really like this combination Mike has chosen. It was the exact combination I was presented in Geneva ...
I Think it is primarily in the Octa line. It’s primarily those that was previously offered in the 38mm or 40 mm options that were given a redesign of the dial so that they are now offered in the 40 and 42 mm options. It makes sense when you think about it...
The 40 is considered “secondary” design wise. So naturally it will have a thinner bezel. He told me this a few years ago in regards to the QP. Basically every model with a 42 and 40mm option is optimally designed in 42. Trivia: the first 20 RQs are all in...
But it seems for older references one could have the same watch with a different 40mm case (fat and skinny bezels). What I’m comparing is cases of the same size, 40mm, but with different thickness of bezel.

I have yet to see this one in person but I did see the Pt version a few weeks ago. It would be a tough choice for me. They are both stunning! Picture of the Pt they had at the boutique. Not for sale though. ...
