Audemars Piguet

I happened to stop by the Audemars Piguet boutique the other day and found those marvelous models sitting side by side. Felt compelled to take the pic of the pair and do some comparison. As you may know, this model was inspired by 19th century pocket watc...  

To show the thickness of the case, wihch I find too important for my taste. But what a concept! Thanks for the report, Ken. Nicolas

.. and it is my habit to show how it would look on the wrist with the thickness taken into account as well :-) Ken

Pink gold! I happened to ask him the very question when I visited his workshop in 2013. The reason? The decorated plates used on the movement in the platinum model are extremely laborious! Truth be told, both are stunning, and different, on the wrist.

... but, yes, they are both stunning. But PT is after all, 1.8 times expensive than PG :-) Ken

I instantly fell in love with it when I first saw it at SIHH many years ago. Hopefully I can buy one someday in the future as it's on my list! Cheers, Anthony

... for now, they are both way out of my league! Ken

While I usually prefer PG/RG I agree that this watch look better in PT. JerryW

Although I agree that the mainplate decoration on teh PT is very nice, I think the RG is really spectacular! The play between white, red and silver really do it for me... Thanks for posting these beauties, they're really my all time favorites of AP's more...
