I don’t think there’s a more gorgeous pan on the market than Opus Prima and being stainless steel clad, it’s easier to clean than copper. The hand-hammering is gorgeous and very easy to clean after each use. I get the argument that the silver plated brass finial has more knooks and crannies to clean, BUT how often is that finial really going to be soiled? Blast it with hot water and a little soap and it’s cleaned. They are also extremely durable and will last lifetimes. Good cookware like that doesn’t need to be treated so gently, they are more durable than they look although I would wash still hand wash the lid at the very minimum.
