Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ice Blue Unboxing & review of my GRAIL WATCH Ref.15550ST.OO.1356ST.08

[@josh.472]

Don't play the game people! These watches are available within reason of what you would have to spend to get an "allocation". AP has screwed themselves with insane retail pricing, these royal oaks ARE NOT rare! Just in this example you'd have to spend $65,000 on two watches that you will inevitably lose $15,000-$20,000 on when you can pick up this Ice blue royal oak for $45,000 on the secondary market with no wait.

[@Schnitzeljunge]

Yeah but he wants untouched virgin watches

[@willchane]

@@Schnitzeljungeyes, grey dealers have new.

[@peterk814]

Grey market is for schmucks

[@Iuckylukey]

Frankly the Code 11.59 is really beautiful, I hope you'll keep on wearing it.

[@ninaolec2300]

Stunning watch. Ice blue was the right choice.

[@JuliVR46]

Fantastic vibe and vid style as always Niko ❤️ Love it so much. The Royal Oak was my favourite AP, especially with the ice Blue dial, but i absolutely fell in love with the Code 11.59 after watching your crazy well matching vid in Paris with it. Both excellent choices though!

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Thank you so much :)!

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

Congrats brother, that is an absolutely beautiful timepiece and worthy of grail status!!

[@jonathansmith283]

TDE - what a super group of AP's . FABULOUS . the light blue dial - great footage of the skilled work ~. JDS/CT

[@peteas888]

Wear it in good health! It's fantastic!

[@yvelf]

CONGRATS ON ACHEIVING THE IMPOSSIBLE!!! GETTING EVERYONE'S GRAIL WATCH!!! lovely watch! looks amazing! enjoy it!

[@dielalex89]

I had been waiting for this one ever since you made your pick up video with it. What a watch my friend, and the beauty of these royal oaks CAN NOT be shown like the real life perspective is. So edgy and sharp with the best finishing you will ever see. Ice blue looks great with the stainless steel - EDIT: I watched the video again (lol) and I have to say the 37mm size scares me at first that it may be too small, but in your case it honestly does look very nice and ideal on you. I just was worried because I felt like your code and your 38 chrono looked so good that I was concerned this one might be a tad small.. but no, not the case.. looks great !

[@morisbayar9442]

Another fantastic watch, another fantastic video Niko ! Wear your newest grail watch in your wonderful collection in good health Sir! 🥰 Congratulations 🍾🥂 I embraced my AP Royal Oak Stainless Steel 41 mm with Silvery White Dial on June 2023. (15510ST.00.1320ST.06) The day I was invited to the AP Boutique to collect my Royal Oak, I saw this 37 mm Ice Blue Dial 🧊 on the Sales Consultant’s wrist. I fell in love 🩵 with that DIAL COLOR at that moment ! It was love at first sight… I kindly ask them to put my name for this watch again on the Waiting List. Ever since I have been waiting for the last 1,5 years and calling the AD from time to time to check. The GOOD NEWS is that; on my last call ☎️ they told me that, they will hand over the FIRST watch they will receive in stock to me! They also told me that, it might happen even within December… 🎄 Please continue on your passion and feed us with your great videos Niko 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@taidouhuang7692]

i always really appreciate you put how much you paid or msrp of the watch, many of the rare pieces are hard to find prices this days since their websites don’t showing any more !

[@Talon173]

Stunning watch, for me though i love the 11.59…..but i like to be different

[@JG-OK]

Wow congratulations. Perfect size

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Beautiful watch, the ice blue color is stunning! 😍

[@gbvoul]

in 5-10 years please show your service bill for all the watches you bought in 2024

[@TheDubaiExpat]

😅

[@darellhunter2205]

Congrats, beautiful piece.

[@darksky258]

Is the dial itself made from gold?

[@aeroAdvocate]

Stunning! Big fan of this dial.

[@webbezzy]

Do the 37-mm and 38-mm watches wear noticeably different on the wrist? Congrats btw on the new addition.

[@TheDubaiExpat]

You can notice a slight difference. Mostly the weight and height.

[@raymondchalland]

Great video as always 👍

[@Syhbw]

37mm looks well balanced for your wrist. How do you feel about the Jumbo for your wrist compared to your 37mm? I did not know AP standard warranty is only for two years.

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Jumbo is nice as well, but best fit is the 37mm. Lug to lug on the jumbo is much more and the watch has a very different feeling overall. Still super nice though

[@SPICY_BEAR]

Incredible watch! Ultra classy. 🙂

[@scottwexlin6456]

Beautiful watch, congratulations sir.

[@ikinc507]

Great watch Nico. I’d love one to go along with my diver (15720 grey dial). Maybe one day

[@DrayichSS]

Perfect size

[@Fabianpradov]

are you gonna make a SOTC video anytime soon?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

yes, probably coming next 2 weeks

[@zdruk1]

What a collection. I mean that you got a Chrono Royal oak as your first buy is insane. Would you say that the IWC now becomes irrelevant in your lineup? Im thinking about that vs the GP Laureto (now that there are more options in the 38mm) but truly these are just place holders for me as I know that the RO is years away if ever from the AD

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Thanks for the kudos :)! I think the Ingenieur still has its place next to the RO or Nautilus. The design is well put together and the watch is a bit more of a daily wearer compared to the RO or Nautilus. The 38mm GP will be interesting for sure and probably the best value for money.

[@zdruk1]

@ if i end up buying a Code 1159 AP should give you a commission youve been the most convincing voice about this watch

[@seanpham67]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🎉🍾 🎈 Die 37 mm Eisblau Royal Oak ist die einzige die ich mir in die Sammlung holen würde. Echt schöne Uhr 😊

[@taidouhuang7692]

congratulations!

[@nikolasbulka]

Excellent review. What's your wrist size?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

6.5”

[@iliasanastasiadis7658]

I'm waiting for mine, 38mm chronograph same color as yours, with diamonds on the bezel. Probably early of 2025 I'll get it. 🤩

[@TheDubaiExpat]

38mm is so nice and wears perfect

[@Iuckylukey]

You should get an honorary Swiss citizenship with all the watches you're buying

[@uzer03]

Very simple finising on caliber for this price category, imho.

[@cedricspies6293]

Congratulations

[@ero9895]

AP Kaws next?

[@ansarifurkon3027]

❤ AP

[@djayyoda]

Beautiful…

[@meetseth3]

dial color is nice, but too small at 37mm

[@faysiddiqui6299]

How many jewels in this watch and how much power reserve?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

60hours

[@faysiddiqui6299]

What about jewels?

[@pasquale78]

1:36 If you have phone with nfc, you can read the card yourself.

[@chrisdrake331]

👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@tictocbang7443]

I'm taking a coffee and clapping. 🎉

[@S.Y.D.-S]

Did you Use AI for the scipt ?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

No

[@affegorilla1299]

Looks like my prx ice blue for 725$ 😜

[@johndavid8753]

Beauty you have there! Favorite AP would be the John Mayer collaboration, love to see one in person. Have you seen it?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

not yet

[@canonwhale]

Is it true that if you’ve been allocated a 15550st in ice blue that you can’t get an allocation for the same ref in another colour?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

yes

[@Kevinpsh71]

sibeh haolian, this chap

[@wussboi]

Stunning watch sir. But pls don't eat too much sushi dipped in soy sauce like that lolol

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Noted! 😅

[@Charside]

Baller

[@charlestillery6327]

WOW, very nice! Great review, فري نيك.

[@pavels266]

So, for 40k $, you get a movement that doesn’t even fit the case properly and looks like a Selita knockoff? No decoration, no effort, just pure hype tax.

[@meetseth3]

Agreed. Movement is very underwhelming compared to 15510 41mm

[@nripendratamang9855]

Congratulations
