Which Audemars Piguet would you like to own?

I was born in 1972, so this exact piece. Every collection should include a piece of the year you were born. AP should offer those born in 1972 a 72% off discount 😉😎.

Exactly that one! Feel free to ship it to Belgium :D

Enjoy wearing your Royal Oak Marko. Indeed, when a watch is registered with us, the 2 year warranty gets extended to 5 years. The Jules Audemars collection has not been substituted by Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet. Code 11.59 is an entirely new collection.

[@ShahLusso]

10k subs, new Royal Oak, you’re having a great week man congratulations. I’d definitely pick a royal oak over the nautilus, I like the design more and its the one that started this entire integrated sports watch segment - though I personally prefer the VC Overseas more than both. Great video as always!

a beauty no discussion, they say AP is a one trick pony but what a pony. I had the chance to try the 41mm model and what impressed me the most was the bracelet, I also liked the shiny and thin bezel but ohh man do be careful. given the nautilus is more than twice the money I'm not so sure about the comparison but the nautilus case design and machinery inside puts it at a higher level. Take both if you can.

36-38mm watches are usually a bit small for me but having of tried this at the AD it fits perfectly. Can't wait to receive my call. The 41 mm version looks ridiculously large on my wrist even though most of my watches are from 40-42mm

Quick question: is this the same shade of blue as the 15202? It seems a lighter shade in comparison. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful timepiece - wear it in good health.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Can't confirm 1000% but looks the same yes. Best if you call your local boutique. 😊📞👍

[@71piano]

Just got the steel chronograph black dial. 41mm wears like 43 and it's a heavy watch (180gr with some links taken off, feels no smaller and lighter than SD43)... not for the small wrists for sure but fits perfectly to my 18cm wrist. But what a beauty, cannot take my eyes off...for me the best looking chronograph in the market

Congratulations! Wear it in good health!

[@itxofficial8281]

I really love the AP Royal Oak, not only because it's a beautiful and quite outstanding watch, but because it was Tim Bergling's (a.k.a AVICII) favourite watch. Back in my early 20s, I was a huge fan of Avicii and never missed a chance to see him live. When he passed away in 2018, my heart was beyond broken. Fast forward to 2020, I was just getting back into watches and discovered that Tim wore an AP Royal Oak (he must've owned several) in pretty much every single photo taken of him. Probably his coolest piece was a 57th St. Offshore Chronograph limited to 250 pieces, that was sold exclusively on the opening day of the AP boutique on 57th street in New York. I personally don't have the money to afford a Royal Oak, but I recently bought a Bersigar homage that comes pretty close to the original design-wise. Now I know, it's just a cheap homage with a simple quartz movement, but at least I get an idea of what it feels like to wear an AP Royal Oak on my wrist!

[@seanpark9448]

RO is sharp, Nautilus is silky on the wrist, both watches are comfortable and nice look. I personally a bit prefer Nautilus due to it fits better on me. But I can say RO has the best bracelet with fantastic presence and it is definitely one of the best dress sports watch.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Can't go wrong with either or! 😁👌

[@jacc88888]

I think this watch is as close to horological perfection as is possible. Congratulations on the purchase! Ps I prefer this over the nautilus but feel the nautilus is a bit more versatile and perhaps works better for formal occasions than the Royal Oak. That said I’d still go for the RO if I could choose!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you for watching and yes the Nautilus looks a bit more "dressy" because it more rounded let's say. This Royal oak truly is incredible, glad you like it too! :)

[@jayyf3609]

im new to watches and want to acquire this. I am in the Illinois area and only have one retailer that carries AP should I just Pay resell? because I dont know how else to get one

[@SwissWatchGang]

I would callevery AP store in the US and ask them for one or travel abroad to order one. I wouldnj't pay resell because at that price point you have a LOT more possibilities to get different watches but depends how much you love it.

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Many Congrats to your purchase! Funny to see that many people nowaday go for the 37mm as it really wears a lot bigger. It may look like a 38-39mm watch but honestly I think it wears more like a 40mm. Glad to see that it works great on your bigger wrist as well! Funny enough I owned an 42mm Offshore Diver with the rubber strap and it wears a lot better than any 41mm RO with the bracelet (on my 16cm - 6.25" wrist). Of course it's a hefty watch but as like 40mm Panerai Luminor models they are pretty wearable with smaller wrists as well if you like the big, bold look of a watch. That said, regarding 'regular' RO's I also prefer the 37mm versions. Also because I like the dial balance better with the small index on the 3 o´clock position. All the best from Germany!

[@SwissWatchGang]

I do prefer smaller watches to wear on a daily basis so the 37mm RO was a great choice :). I recently reviewed the new Ikepod watches and the 46mm Megapod also wears much smaller than the size suggests. I always tell people to try the watches on themselves before they decide on a size. :)

@@SwissWatchGang I imagine you do care but after dropping a serious amount you say this to yourself to justify the purchase. I think what the OP meant is that AP should not have this issue due to the luxury nature and cost of the product.

@@grady60 when I say I don't care, I don't care. And I would drop this kind of money for the AP 15450 anytime considering the strong value on the market this model fetches. AP nor any other brand have alligned screws, find me one that does and I will complain that my AP isn't to par with it. :)

[@jaime4022]

@@grady60 So what are you now? Some sort of mind reader? The man says he doesn't care. Well, he doesn't care. I wouldn't either. Those screws weren't meant to line up like the ones on the top. It's like those assholes who expect the damn crown on a Rolex to not to be upside down or sideways when you screw it in. It is not meant to be like that even if by sheer luck it does line up in some watches.
