Over the years, I have tried a few different colored gold watches in my collection. Currently, I do not own a colored gold watch. The closest I came to a keeper was AP's Royal Oak reference 15300. Listed as a 39mm case, I always found this Royal Oak very ...  

I much rather prefer this to the 15202 in gold that is out there (not sure the ref.), but for me this watch really does the trick. Saw it in person 2 weeks ago in Venice and was just taken aback by how beatuiful it is... your comments are spot on! Thanks ...

and can't agree with you more on your evaluation on this rose gold beauty. 39mm is my favorite size for RO. AP's rose gold simply elevates the 15300 to another level :)

Sorry for my delayed reply. I also agree about the 39mm case. At least on my wrist, it leaves me wanting nothing more.

Exactly my sentiment, my friend :)
