I'm sure others buy stocks, or houses, or pay into their pension. For the vast majority expensive watches are a thing you buy in your 20's, 30's, maybe 40's but by the time you get to 50... Maybe not so much. ---- WE are not the future of the brand, Gen Z are the future.

Weird how Gen Z is supposed to luv a watch designed long time ago that only power riches can afford... Like hasn't this decade boosted great designmaking like never? Even the last year with AI and, currently, visual things like Leonardo AI? Things are speeding up, yet why AP still? Isn't it like old cars? It's looking great, but still, aren't there better designs, truly? So, AP has chosen an original color, and the dial with all its complications here looks the best. So, maybe it's actually the best Oak, why not?

It's sad to see when a brand stops trusting itself and needs to resort to crutches to feel in line with the times. AP seems to have exhausted all creativity and now can only present variations of the Royal Oak. An association is a very serious decision (or it should be), and seeing a brand that was once synonymous with prestige, associate itself with a rotten non-culture symbol, is simply regrettable.

François on his position managed to do two things: he greatly increased profitability and ruined heritage of the company. I did like Royal Oak and owned Dual Time model from older time 25730. I watched how Audemars Piguet as company was changing and didn’t like the changes. After “Black Panther” I sold my Royal Oak. I owned that watch for ten years. It was great watch, but Audemars Piguet became more expensive, but less special. I never regret to let my Royal Oak go…

The top comments are spot on. "Can't afford an AP, and if I could, I wouldn't buy one." "AP is devaluing their brand." But like Richard Mille, the brand and its shareholders will come out of this OK, as the hype-train seems to be alive and well at the $200k+ price point. I'll never participate in a "billionaire's handshake," and I guess I'm OK with that.

As the first 25+ year old to offer some perspective in the comments, I personally think it was a genius move by both parties. The people criticizing AP for working with Travis either don’t understand the level of influence he’s had on modern popular culture or just hate the man for the sake of hating. This collab, in all likelihood, will be AP’s Tiffany Nautilus; a piece that’s instantly recognizable yet so distinctly unique at the same time. It will garner attention from all over the world and will go down as one of the smartest collaborations of the century.

AP is no Patek or Rolex and it’s an insult to those brands for AP to be grouped in the holy trinity with them. I own Patek’s Rolex, Cartier, breitling and Hublot. AP will never be in my collection. The AP boutiques are staffed with 20 something’s telling you you need to kiss there ass and maybe then they’ll sell you a watch. They are a 1 trick pony with a watch they pimp out and didn’t even create themselves. As for selling above retail. Give it time. AP has taken a tremendous hit in the secondary market way more than Rolex or Patek.

Interesting take, I am a 40+ year-old Jordan-wearing watch collector with my daily VC. I agree that AP has been doing too many meaningless collaborations. This collaboration pers say did sell out in record time. The fact is the world of watch collecting is large and very diverse. The key in my opinion is to balance the reach to the "cool factor" while also striving for innovation and creativity within the traditional high horology space. The two can exist together. Just remember the views and disdain I see in these comments are similar to the views Gerald Genta received when he created the Royal Oak and the Nautilus

It's all about picking a color that matches your personal style. Besides, the brown color and the custom font is the only thing this watch has going for it. Are you suggesting they should have just made it in steel/white gold/yellow gold like all the other shit they make? It's already bad enough that AP has only been making Royal Oaks lately at least they kinda tried to be creative with this collab in terms of design. Just a shame it's all related to a scumbag

I don't like it, but I get it. The watch itself doesn't exist for the multitudes of Travis Scott fans to buy and wear, it exists for them to covet and to make AP the ultimate aspirational flex watch for a generation. That's why there are only 200 of them and why they cost more than a G Wagen. It makes Rolex look stiff and old-fashioned (which, I guess is their brand anyway) and AP look relevant and connected to culture. There are easily 200 fellow celebs, princes, and trust-fund nepobabies who want to project obscene wealth while simultaneously signaling their connection to hip-hop culture, so I get that this makes sense on all fronts. After all, the typical AP customer will be, frankly, dead in 20 years and so will the brand if they only cater to really old men on yachts. Like the Marvel watches, it puts something unobtainable yet cool (if only to a teenager) in front of a young, culturally relevant audience and says, "you can't have this...yet." All of that said, none of it excuses the CEO's clownish behavior and cringy attempts to look hip with the kids. Those clips are embarrassing to all involved.

From a design perspective, the Royal Oak is one of my all time favorite watches. I’ve probably watched the Hodinkee Reference Points video for the watch a couple dozen times. The industrial look of a steel example has an understated element that I really appreciate. But, AP’s marketing strategy over the last decade along with hype pieces, like the Travis Scott collaboration and the Marvel watches, have turned AP into a brand for people who are desperate for the attention of others. I really question whether I would ever buy a Royal Oak because it has turned into a symbol of flash, rather than elegance

Can we knock off AP of the trinity and put JLC on it already?

Just a guess - The more you associate your brand with New Money, the more Not-New Money will say "Hard Pass". EDIT - And upon a quick google, Travis Scott is quite a not admirable character to be associating your brand with.

The typeface / font "Comic Sans" is a totally reliable indicator that the person using it is a complete tool and anything written using it can be safely ignored without a second glance. I cannot tell the difference between "Comic Sans" and the "hand-written" numerals on this watch...

Its smart for them to do it... if you want younger people getting into watches (if they can even afford an AP) this is the way to do it... we all know rich white kids try to emulate rappers all the time... and theyre called influencers for a reason. Will it hurt the brand? Doubt it... Richard Mille basically got famous off rich famous peoole wearing his watches.

I'm sure all the comments here were stated before when Jay-Z had is collab with AP. I mean come on why anyone buys an AP is to say I got it. TS collabs with Jordan are crazy successful and I doubt this will be any different. One the all those young Thundercats will get older and look back and remember what they like and what was its association. From AP it multigenerational thinking.

Awful collaboration on every level. And also an awful watch. Compare this 💩 to the “basic” SS Openworks, which is a masterpiece. Great video and review though 👏🏽

Audemars Piguet went from doing amazing collabs such as AP x Michael Schumacher etc... To this... Great video. Nailed it in every aspect! I hope they see this.

Against the association, it may well bite AP in the bum, I can appreciate the incredible movement design and finishing of the top brands but I have not seen a JC Biver design that I like, not that I could afford one! As far as I am concerned “The King is in the altogether”. Excellent content, thanks

I am sure that the watch will look fantastic at his next booking photo at the clink. Just a lovely role model for our urban youth to raise themselves up from the thug life. Just another reason why I hate AP.

*ITS MY JOB AS A GEN X 54 YEAR OLD* to f-king hate it with a passion - but thats kinda the point isnt it...??? I no longer collect watches, I buy gold coins with my money now. I'm sure others buy stocks, or houses, or pay into their pension. For the vast majority expensive watches are a thing you buy in your 20's, 30's, maybe 40's but by the time you get to 50... Maybe not so much.

Would be great to take such a watch apart in terms of real costs - aside of R&D - as it's nothing new from a watchmaking point of view - against LP of 200k - THAT would put things into perspective - I am generous and say 20k......

I bet Travis has never spent a rainy Sunday wandering around a branch of Millets trying on fleeces by Peter Storm, maybe if he had he wouldn't be in such turmoil.
