You are right. The watch is loud specially in yellow gold and with the baguette dial but you can pull it off, not sure I could. On another note, I wouldn’t replace Audemars Piguet as part of the trinity for any other brand. If anything, I would get rid of Vacheron if I had to but I wouldn’t do that either. I’d leave it as it is but AP more than deserves it’s place on the trinity.

Yes thats why according to mr Philipe Dufour : Rolex is king of sport watches and Lange king of dress watches. AP makes around 50k watches a year and 95% are Royal oaks. They make fragile so called Sport/dress watches. For me quality is reliability, durability, material and accuracy not only finishing. AP RO only have nice design, finishing with nice bracelet. But no good quality. I own 2 RO and don't wear them any more because to many problems! I Love A. Lange watches...the quality and finishing is much better than Patek and VC👍 great video

Totally agree with you Ridah on both points. Firstly, the best yellow gold watch in the Rolex line up in my opinion is definitely the Day Date. The overall design of the watch just suits yellow gold the best. I am not that fussed if its 40mm or 41mm really. Secondly, A Lange should replace AP in the holy trinity. PP, VC and Lange have so much to offer in dress to sport design compared to AP. No doubt, the royal oak is a beautiful watch but there is only so many iterations of it you can do. Plus the offshore is so big and looks so dated and clumsy...it hasn't evolved.
