Thanks Ken for sharing these pics of the AP SIHH '14 novelties. I like the redesigned crown guards and the transparent case back of the Offshore models. Can't wait to see these hopefully soon here in SoCal. Regards, ED-209

It will be the nearest Audemars Piguet boutique soon....

.. interesting about novelties this year debited in each market is that these "stay" (for sales) and the AP boutique near you will get ones from Swiss soon. Ken

Excellent report Ken! Some of the finest photos I have seen of the new collections.

We all really appreciate your effort here, I am quite certain of that. Your photo set is the first I have seen that correctly captures the new 44mm ceramic cased Offshore with the anthracite dial. I really appreciate the explanation on the various models ... 

The 44mm Royal Oak Offshore is quite an eye opener for me...

... carbon or ceramic - that is the problem! Black ceramic with black dial may be a rare piece to collect if you see one Kidding. It is Audemars Piguet Japan's courtesy to let me see all three and compare - very nice of them to let me compare side by side...

.. well thought of from the owners' view point. Ceramic pushers, and slight, but significant change in the pusher piece guards for the use and practical purposes, while the view from the top makes is look more, for the lack of better words, well-balanced.... 

Thank you for this GREAT post :)

Really appreciate all the wonderful live pictures of the 2014 novelties. Which one do you like most? Coincidentally, I'm compiling a story with our similar encounter here in Singapore. Therefore I can fully understand your excitement and experience when h...

.. for 42mm, I like the black one with red stitch. For 44mm, I would love the forged carbon, but make sure it fits comfortably on my wrist.... As for the concept model, I would definitely go for the black one...... And if I had GF, would happily go fro th... 

Awesome report ..... Thanks a lot Ken ..
