of the salmon dial AP RO. If you don't mind, can you share a bit more about why the Salmon dial is so special ? I've seen the blue dial very often but not this salmon dial.

 

Thanks again !

Cameleon in Rome... after many years of waiting!

So... When in Rome...? One thing one notices while in Rome is the color of buildings.. Terra cotta... reds, ochres... or shades of pink to salmon color. I had the 'salmon' bug for a long time now... and after sounding out some interest to friends and some...

How well you capture and describe it. Definitely a whole new look for the Royal Oak. I would love a re-issue of some salmon dials by AP. Could not be happier for you! Oh, and welcome back to the Masthead my Friend :-)

Thanks !!!

Yes... its very very nice. The play of color on the dial, and luminosity is terrific. I guess its just a bit below the nice silver/white dial on the prev. generation 15202... which I really like!! the salmon/champagne color is so late 80s IMO but I love i... 

My friend, huge congratulations! This dial is sublime, and to say all...

In my opinion, just the next best thing after the 5402. This dial gives another dimension to the Watch. More " cool ", less sporty. More chic. That is a Watch I would love to have in my collection! BRAVO! Best, Nicolas.

Muchas gracias!

Chuck Thanks for asking!!! Here's my biased opinion, not so much information ;) The Salmon dial appeared in three different iterations of the Royal Oak: Not sure which came first chronologically, but I know that it came out on the 36mm version in the late...

Here are links to previous posts from our member Orangedial I think his photography speaks for itself!, and he has the newer version of the orange dial on the piece. In my knowledge (not official, and I might be completely wrong) its a dial that was place...
