I bought my first AP in 2001, a silver dial rubberclad. As I have learned about this storied brand, I have much appreciation for creations from days gone by. Like this design from nearly a hundred years ago! But I would not have been interested then, and
Once again, my better half and I found ourselves in London, this time headed to the AP House on New Bond Street. A week prior, I received a call from the sales associate. Last year, he mentioned he’d work on securing the 16202 for my next acquisition, but

As next year is a key anniversary year for the Offshore, your post will definitely spark the imagination for potential future releases and reissues?!? I must say - my first AP was a Beast, and at that time I had a choice of getting a Daytona or a Beast ov
After 18 years my Rubberclad still glows like a torch in the dark. And what wrist presence this watch has with 42mm. Yes it’s big but wears so comfortably on my wrist. Hearing so much bad about the rubber bezel put me off buying one for many years but now
