Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Steel and Tantalum skeletonized cal 2003
Inspired by oragedial's great pictures, here's another rare AP RO in tantalum and steel, with the caliber 2003 ultra thin skeletonized.
Can you include some close ups for the dial, Thomas.
This beauty deserves them!
Best,

the skeletonized dial
I love the skeletonized dial on this steel and tantalum piece. It's so different from the current 15305.

Absolutely stunning and unique
Would love to see more pictures of this one, truly gorgeous
Ahem... Masthead Honors!
Terrific photo Thomas! Thanks for launching us into the weekend with this rare gem!
Without question, Wayne consistently provides us top notch photos.
He will be back on the Masthead for sure.
Terrific!!!!!!Just terrific!
Fantastic combo,I remember you posting it years back?Is that possible?
You have the finger on the pulse Thomas,will AP consider the use of this combo again in the future?
If I well remember The P10 Ro had tantalum bezel….and links?
Could you also shed some light on cal 2003?
too many questions sorry…
Great shot,wow again!

Yes, unlikely, yes, and
Yes.
Cal.2003 was the thinnest classical handwind ever produced, based on a JLC caliber, itself based on another caliber...AP and VC had exclusive use since it's launch back in the 1950's if memory serves correctly.
Classical means no using case back as main plate, in which case Lasalle and Concord Delirium might vie for claims...as well as new Piaget.
AP
For the Shaq edition, why are the 3 and the 2 reversed? I would get it if he wore number 32, but I seem to remember him wearing 34. Why did they not reverse the 4 and 3?
Audemars Piguet Shaq edition - I believe Shaq was wearing #32 when playing for Miami Heat
Shaq was playing for Miami Heat wearing #32 when the AP Shaq edition was released.
Shaq
I see. That makes sense. Is there some connection with AP and Miami? I noticed that Shaq had his own edition when he was playing there and now Lebron James is their biggest sponsor. Just curious
No, aside from the wonderful AP Boutique located in Bal Harbour.
LeBron James is an official Ambassador for Audemars Piguet. You can read more about the partnership here:
Thomas is correct (#32 w/ Heat). Sorry I missed your question
I try to reply promptly to all forum questions... glad Thomas had the answer for us.
marvellous taste sir
in ORANGE, kewl!
cheers,
